Selling on Audiogon


It appears that it has become more difficult for individuals to sell equipment on Audiogon. com. Has anyone else had that experience. PayPal requires you to set up a business and the other available option also appears difficult. Am I alone in such an experience? Any other alternative that can be suggested?

We’re trying to discourage that sort of behavior, Uber. Is that any clearer? 😳 You can’t always get what you want but sometimes you get what you need. 🤗

Best option is just to let the auction run its course because sometimes all the action happens in the last few seconds anyway. And at the end if you still did not get as much as you felt you should have just cancel the sale, this comes at no charge to you, just make up some reason or another from the options ebay gives you.

>>>>Yeah, that sounds like a recipe for success alright. How can you lose?
On eBay you can run 7 day auctions with LOW starting bid to attract more buyers. Or you can start the bidding higher, if NERVOUS, but get less interested buyers that way. Or use the Buy it Now option for selling with a BUY IT NOW price you’re comfortable with, e.g., 50% of retail. You can also specify a reserve price below which you will not accept. For an auction there is an OPTION for a Buy it Now price so that someone who really wanted it wouldn’t have to wait 7 days or whatever for the auction to end.
Ordinarily I can sell iceboxes to Eskimos but that USAudiomart is a tough nut to crack. It must be a subset of the audiophile population. 😬
