Selling here on Audiogon


Hi it's been quite a while since I listed items for sale here on "Agon" what has  happened? It seems like gear used to move fast vs other sites  I don't want to mention the other sites name in fear of the almighty censor gods removing my post. Anyway has  anyone else experienced this?

I agree with others that dealers are increasingly a larger part of the Agon sellers, and yes, they- two in particular- are trying to jack prices up and sell years old gear for 70% of its original MSRP. Gear like this could have been bought new for 20% off of MSRP much of the time so trying for 30% off years later is not reasonable. You'll also see a Chicago dealer with multiple listings for the same products over and over again on dozens of products. With that said I find that generally if you price right you'll sell pretty quickly. "Price right" means different things to different people but generally it's got to take into account the product might be years and models old, is not perfect and could have been discounted when new. A starting target might be 50% or more off of original price.
