Where are you located? Seattle area? I'm down in the Portland area. If you would like to talk, I'd be happy to. You can seen me a direct message, but do not try to share your contact info. That isn't allowed, If here you might talk to Echo Audio, they check over and resell high end audio equipment. Unless you really want to go through the effort of individually pricing selling each piece.
Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest?
Hey all, I have recently acquired a fairly extensive setup/collection from a family member who passed. I am looking to move on from nearly everything in the collection, and have been planning to sell through audiogon.
Is this the best way to go? Is there a local place to talk to someone directly in the pacific northwest? Shipping all of this very expensive equipment (lampizator golden gate 2, several high end carts, speakers, tone arms, etc.) seems risky btu willing to do it if it's my best option. Is it better to try to do this locally?
Even better, anyone in the northwest want to take a look?
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, new to this site.
@lizardloungerecords - I’m also in Portland. I second Echo Audio as a worthy option if you want to streamline and simplify the sale of those audio components. You’d make more money selling yourself, but if time and expediency is important, Echo is a great choice. |
time, money, peace of mind - you can only pick too. if you want to maximize what you get for it ebay and usaudiomart. if you want to get it over quick, Echo, Hawthorne or TMR if you want to feel good, do your research for what it's worth, it spend the time to list it here or another forum, let an audio club members review it, find the best home for it. Ebay takes 14% but you will get that much more. I prefer usaudiomart. I tried to sell a few things through Echo, they are good for buyers. They offered about a third of ebay prices. TMR offers about 50-60%. Some audio stores will put it on the shelf for you on consignment. |
Look up individual components on HifiShark.com and determine the approximate resale values on each piece, then get a quote from TMR, Echo and Hawthorne. If you value your time and can live with a reduced return, then go that route. If you don't mind doing the work and want to make more money, then list them on US Audio Mart. |
