Moonglow Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hi All, I tend to be somewhat of a packrat when it comes to keyboards I no longer use.......and now the wife is starting to bit...., err, complain.....so it looks like I will be unloading some gear. It's been a while since I've done this, so I was just wondering as to the method by which folks have experienced the most success. E-Bay? Local Newspaper? "Bargain Finder" type newspaper? Keyboard forums (Ha!)? Please note this is not a sales pitch....just collecting info. Thanks!

DanS Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 There should be plenty of online classified style sites where you can sell your gear. For buying I use Ebay, for selling & buying locally, I use a site called LesPacs.com. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

kanker. Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 How far northwest Indiana? Try Chicago's Craigslist, or even Indy's. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It should be fairly obvious, if you think about it. In order to maximize your potential return, you need to maximize the number of potential buyers; therefore, something local like Craigslist will be inferior to eBay. However, there's more involved with putting an item onto eBay, such as a Paypal account, shipping and handling of your items, etc. Of course, you can always set an eBay auction up for local pickup only... So you need to ask yourself; how much effort are you willing to put in, versus how much you expect (need) to make from your gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I just sold a pretty good pile of gear. I don't do the ebay thing because it's too crime ridden, and I wouldn't have any good seller feedback anyway. I advertised on Craig's List and amidst all the warnings from them about scammers, I had about 20 downright obvious scam offers and several highly suspicious contacts. I did end up selling one piece through a CL contact. Everything else was sold by ads on the keyboard and synthesizer forums I frequent, including this one. Snapped up, in fact. I felt a lot better about shipping stuff to people I already knew from hanging out on forums. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have used a little bit of everything including both Harmony Central and Ebay with great results. YMMV.
