I got lucky on my end, but I always price them to sell.

With the recession that will become obvious in the next few months, I think it's only going to get harder... Bad if you're a seller, good if you're a buyer

It seemed like there were a bunch of scams all at once a little while ago...maybe people are just leery about buying used at the moment?

I got scammed so hard haha almost fell for it too and the guy is still trying...

Other than the A3 I haven't been able to move much of the smaller/lower stuff, so a lot of it went into storage tubs this weekend. There's a lot of gear floating still from office setups no longer in use.

On the other hand, I've scooped up some great deals in 2022 on things that were on the wish list, but down the line a bit; most of it I know I could probably move again later if I wanted.

On a different note your new avatar looks even cooler than the old one

@mitochondrium thanks bud! :)

Do the relatively new lower IRS-reported thresholds for PayPal non-gift transactions factor into decisions to even sell used equipment?

@rott Would reporting to the IRS really make a difference in most used audio equipment sales? Unless you're regularly flipping rare equipment, I'd think that most sales would result in a capital loss, not a gain.

Good to see you back here! I agree with you - it's been very slow going this last while. I am actually glad in one case, as it convinced me to keep my HD800Ss. As always, anything made by Schiit that is current sells within hours of posting.

Higher end gear takes longer to sell. You may need to lower the price to move it.

Yep, the market went soft and quick. Not even the usual inquires. Good deals are still snatched up in minutes but ive had 2x cm800rs sitting for months.
