Finally got around to cleaning out the attic and garage and setting up to get rid of the stuff I have hoarded over the years. Mostly audio equipment from my previous hobby.
First sale on eBay: SAEC WE-308SX tone arm. Started it at $250, end up getting $596. Not bad for something I took out in trade, many, many many years ago.
More stuff coming on eBay. Tell your friends and family to check out Audio_Garage_Sale on eBay.

It's always nice when there is a bidding war and something goes for more. Nice work Zymot. How much is a Zymot autograph worth these days?

I have a load of old project stuff i've been wanting to put in ebay for years. It's a tough hurdle to get over.

Have two different Dynaco vacuum tube amps on two different auctions on eBay. Auctions end in about14-15 hours.
Between the two, I got $720. Lots of people watching the auctions. I expect hybrids will jump another $100 each before all is said and done. Ka-ching.

Nice! You're *almost* motivating me to sell my old junk.

Update: I have sold $1,732.75 to date. I expect this is somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of my total inventory.
Between Paypal and eBay, they get about 13%. Ebay and Paypal are making bank. Brilliant of the people that came up with concept, established their brand, fought off copy cats and now they are now riding a gravy train.

I've finally started getting going on this. I have a few high dollar items but its mostly low dollar. We'll see how it goes. I'm in cash consolidation mode right now. I can probably scrape together 3-4k but a lot of it will be in $25-$50 increments.

Hmmm...looking into this I think I have some more valuable stuff than I realized. The first $1000-1500 should be pretty easy to knock out. It will get a little more difficult from there. I have a few pieces that should go for decent money on CL as well. Could probably do 5-6k altogether.

I am not sure I have any stuff laying around that people would pay money for... Lol.

A bunch of stuff I saved from the trash when we closed down our manufacturing facility a few years ago. Mostly stuff from the lab. Nothing all that useful unless you really specifically need it. I have a couple of things around the house that I want to get rid of, too. Aside from my espresso machine, probably not much worth more than $50.
