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 see multiple issues with selling used gear now days..
First is the indisputable fact that the price/performance of so called entry/mid fi gear has lowered the law of diminishing returns to well under $1000.00,making new gear purchases with full warranties a better bargain..
Add to that the fact that shipping cost have gone through the roof ,along with seller fees on A’gon,Fleabay & other sites,making it a losing proposition..

@freediver I have not seen the shipping costs going up. I am shipping mid-size components (~25 lbs) often for under $25 in the lower 48 with UPS.

I've been buying and selling for 20 years. Last audiogon sale was about 10 years ago. Fees are up and the lack of product doesn't really help attract buyers.
