I am too, looks like I can add $100 and put it on ebay, the last one sold with remote, no phono $1,400

Robin.

It does look like its time to move it to Ebay, i would add more than $100.00 on your asking price
I would try $1850.00 with a buy now

Good luck Brian

The fees are pretty bad.  About 3% of the total for Paypal and you will get hit for about $65 by eBay.  I know.  Just sold two amps in the last few weeks.  They took a big bite out of my profits.  I can see why OCCD does not like selling on eBay.
Got Carver?

Selling on eBay sucks.....especially if you sell to an unscrupuolous buyer.  The buyer can make any wild claim of damage, etc., and eBay will back them up.  You as a seller are then SOL.

You do take a hit that you must take into account with pricing. It is however the quickest way to sell your item as it exposes it to more potential buyers than could ever be covered elsewhere. BTW...anyone know what Audiogon charges for a sale item???

Glad to hear.  I am surprised it took as long as it did.

Thanks, though I'm not surprised. I had an enormous amount of emails like this:

Quote
hello, How are you doing? i will love to know if this item is still available for sales. if yes pls get back at me with my personal email xxxx.com i await your response as soon as possible with the full details of the item and how durable and how long u have been using it, with the final selling price

So, I may have lost my cool a little and I may have been a little abusive by raising my reply price if I thought they were just being stupid.

I actually ended up selling it for my original asking price of $1,650 when a Carveraudio lurker emailed me a resonable reqeust. lol
