I’m not sure this is the right place to ask, but does anyone have any advice, ideas, or option for someone who has low dollar gear to sell ($150-$800) but despises selling stuff? I’ve gone the TMR route before and tried again, but I didn’t realize they had a min value ($1000) for consignments.
I have never had a bad experience selling things on our Marketplace.

I have always been hesitant to sell; yet have no bad experiences on Marketplace. I feel safe selling to the PS Audio people.

I have sold a ton of tweaks such as fuses, tubes, isolators, footers, etc without issues. I have also sold expensive gears (P15 was the latest) without any issue too. All mine were sold through here and Audiomart US and they were all gone!🏌🏽♂️

I have also sold many items on US Audio Mart. Often it takes a while to sell and you can get lots of low bid offers that I usually just ignore. The cost is free and I have not had any problems with any of the Buyers. I have also purchased equipment on there and have had no issues to date.
What is your alternative to selling? Possibly donating to a friend or budding audiophile. The MarketPlace here has been fine. US AudioMart (USAM) has its ups and downs, people being people.

Thanks much all. I appreciate it. I figured this place would be the least stressful but I’m not sure how much interest there might be in my cast offs. Never know till you give it a go.
The Schiit stack part I’d hold onto in case one of the kids develops an interest. Or I’d buy your BSN and set up a second system somewhere.
That’s it. I need to buy a vacation house so I’d have a place for another system.
That’s the ticket!
Schiit is very popular on ebay, often selling for crazy high prices…and it’s usually small and easy to ship…

Thank you. I hadn’t considered it.
Don’t forget about using your old gear to get trade-in discounts from PS Audio. You get credit for the original list price of your old gear, which is typically much higher than the current value of that equipment. It’s a lot easier than selling used equipment to private buyers, although it doesn’t help you if you’re not interested in buying any new PSA products. In my case, I was able to trade in enough gear to get a 40% discount on a pair of new FR10 speakers.

I have done this a few times over the years old gear and just recently for speakers (FR5) too.

The thought of trading for PSA gear has crossed my mind more than once. I’d love a pair of FR5/10 but they’re not in the cards right now.

In my case, most of my spare stuff is so old PSA isn’t interested in it. Though I admit I’ve been toying with the idea of trading a pair of Focal Elears that I used only once toward an Airlens. A reasonable person might suggest my headphone needs are fully met by the Clear and Bathys that are sitting around here.
