Listing some vintage audio equipment today on Fleabay, Dual TT, Fisher receiver, not sure I want to ship either esp. the tube receiver, hopefully someone will local pickup. May ask wifey to put on her FB Market place, hate selling stuff but no room and these two items aren't going to the Goodwill
Ever thought about selling via US Audio Mart?
I've had pretty good luck on that site (less tire kickers than FB and CL), and I sold my last tube preamp there (met the guy in-person to eliminate possible shipping damages).
Only other things I can suggest are:
1. Take LOTS of pictures, more to CYA and save, than to put on the listing. I'm talking macro pics that show details of critical components. I've had people buy something from me, and then try to return it after swapping out my "good" components with their bad stuff from/for their restoration project, and now I state
right up front what I'm doing in order to "help" those guys look elsehwere.
2. If you're going to ship anything with tubes, always take them out (obviously!), but more importantly: You CAN'T use enough foam packing!!! Reluctantly I shipped a Conrad-Johnson tubed preamp once, double-boxed, and the external dimensions of the shipping box was maybe 3X the size of the preamp, and all filled with foam cut-outs. It made it, but I was pretty nervous....
Or, list the item w/o tubes. Heck, most buyers are gonna "roll their own" anyway....
