For many years I have been selling my client's audio gear for them on a commission basis. As
time went on, people were coming to me with everything from cameras, artwork and automobiles, to campers, buses and houses.
For most items, audiogon or ebay auctions are our best bet. It takes proper
pictures, critical timing and especially superb ebay and audiogon "feedback", to bring top dollar. What is more,
buyers feel insecure to buy from private parties where they will bid higher when buying from a well known dealer such as myself.
Rate: 35% commission on all items except real estate and vehicles.
You net 65% of sale price. I pay all paypal, auction and credit card fees out of my share.
Real Estate and Vehicular Rate: 15% Commission of sale price plus fees if any.
My ebay rating is over 4,400 "100% Positive". Audiogon rating is 100% as well.
Process: If
your items are easily shippable, send them to me so I can take over including taking pictures, writing listings, answer bidders
questions, bill and ship to buyer.
If you items are not easily, or practically, shipped, you
can email me proper pictures and details. After the sale is completed, I will email you the buyer's address, you ship,
the buyer pays the shipping cost. After buyer has received items, I will forward the buyer's payment to you.
Feel free to email or call me and let me know what you have.
