Reason for selling is...


I'm always amused that sellers bother to give reasons why they're selling their gear. Obviously in the vast majority of cases, they don't like it in their system. But only a very tiny minority will say that. People are (1) moving; (2) downsizing; (3) upgrading; (4) getting a divorce; (5) undergoing surgery.

Look, just assume buyers aren't stupid. We know why you're getting rid of stuff. If you haven't lied about the condition of your gear, do us the courtesy of letting us decide independently of your reasons for selling, which all seem to be designed to reassure us that your stuff isn't bad.

I do it just to show someone that said I couldn't that I can. For instance my wife says I can't sell my dog. So right now I have a 2005 pure bred boxer for sale. It is a one owner and has all the upgrades you can possibly have. I have kept it in a smoke free, kid free home. Yea I don't sell that stuff, I give all the smoke and kids away for free. Also because I know you will say you can't sell that it is mine, I am the guy that lists an item that you might you have for sale on the 'gon here a few lines above yours at a slightly higher price. Even though you won't take low ball offers I will. I do it because I can.
B-Limo I am here to enlighten and help, and to take advantage of the unsuspecting person. Hope you have as much fun as I do doing it!! Unfortunately in my trying to be funny, thinking about it, somebody with internet and sales skills and whatever else is needed just might do this. So whoever you are and you get good at it let us all know here at the 'gon so we can start doing it too.
Mapman I have noticed that a lot of people think their stuff can be sold for what a brick and mortar place would sell it for, and they don't have the investment of a b & m store. I think a lot(not most) of the items for sale here are roughly priced 25% to high. There are bluebooks on audio equip.
