Selling my BG SA 200 (3)
BG PD-8Ci pair
JL Audio Fathom F112

Two questions. 1 What are some good audio classifieds other than Audiogon?
2 What is a fair Price?

I cant sell on here due to post count.

Did you ever consider this?

This is community of people that share thoughts, ideas, laughs and, yes, we do at times bicker amongst ourselves. But, first and foremost we are a community that exists and, as far as the Internet might allow, are friends.

We occasionally have the opportunity to sell to each other but we pretty much know who we're buying from so this forum is not your local Craigslist of Ebay. Some stranger who comes here with the main intent of selling is not necessarily welcomed with open arms.

I see that the last time you posted was about five years ago and then they were fairly valid questions. You got your answers then and then you were gone like yesterday's train. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

... and nothing in the five years since then, until just now, when your came back to sell stuff. In fact, you've made more posts since you came back asking how to sell your stuff than you did when you had real questions.

The rules are posted as to what you need to sell and now that you've tipped your hat as to why you're really here, well, it might be a bit more difficult than before

Relax Markw

First off I was clear in my intentions and there is no conspiracy. Im upgrading my equipment and was looking for help in selling my old. Your right I have not been in the discussion form for many years since I had nothing to contribute. I have however use Audioholics often for information. Instead of acting like a nut job maybe you could HELP with information. Your right, this seems like a very close community of people that has great knowledge. And I was asking ADVICE from said community. I have'nt made erroneous post or comments to get my post count up, thats what some one would do if they had a hidden agenda. So as your mother probably told you. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't.

Markw has a point, but then again he been on the war path lately.
The point is even you get the needed 25 posts for Classified thread - that does not much as regulars would be very hesitant to buy from you. AH forums provide not protection - it's all trust based.

As far to you question - Re: Pricing: Used equipment has be priced according to it's condition and it's market desirability.

I know about BG Radia, but not many do - You'd best chance is to sell is to community like ours, but one which can trust you and your reputation....
Audiogon might be decent place as well, but you can forget about CL and Ebay. You are not going to get even 50% of it's value

JL Audio Fathom F112 - These are much more recognized brand and known hi-end product. The problem is it is price - even at 70% of your price - it's still WAY above comparable SVS sub (for example) and people interested in JL would have money to buy it new....

All your items are high quality pieces, but unfortunately for you - very highly priced. The depreciation would be very considerable...

I wish you good luck !

Thanks to all

I understand about building a solid rep that can be trusted. I hope I can participate more in the forms when I have something of value to add. Thank you for your time and advice.

Its really your location when selling on craigslist. If you are in a big city you have a much better chance getting rid of high end gear.Audiogon would be the other place to sell........
