En route to flipping my main residence from Philadelphia to Vancouver, BC, and a house of less than half the size, I've been trying to sell off some of the extraneous stuff I've collected, and tried several of the sites.
USA Audio Mart and Audio Asylum offer free ads. Well, you can actually list 7 items for free in a month at USA Audio Mart. For most folks, that won't hamstring them.
I get a good amount of interest from USA Audio Mart, and have sold several items there. That's definitely a godd first step.
As much as I want to support Audio Asylum, I've tried AA Trader many times over the past years, including now. All I can say it's more or less a dud. You just don't reach many folks, and the number of inquiries and folks who move forward comes in the worst of the sites I've tried. Yes, I'm calling Audio Asylum dead last going away in this race.
You may have an issue with Audiogon rates. Say what you will, but Audiogon captures the most eyes, and seems to generate the most interest. Factor in the cost of the ad to the final sale price, and how much a component generates for you. If you come out ahead, that's the cost of doing business, and obviously justified it.
For what it's worth, for lower dollar or lower level components, I've been having excellent success at eBay
