Several years ago I bought a piece of equipment for about $13,000. I used the shit out of it and kept it in good condition but I dont see myself getting back into it. I’m expecting to get about $6000 for it but since it was delivered on a pallet, shipping it is out of the question.

Feels like a bad idea to accept a check/QuickPay/venmo/anything that can be canceled afterward so am I stuck with cash?

And are there better sites for this than Craigslist? I don’t have Facebook.

    Alas, it is not. I wouldn’t do business with a company that charges ANY 15%+ fees on sales regardless.

        Those were from memory but it looks more like 13-15% plus the listing fees and anything else. Still a full grand off the sale so my position stands

        It’s insane to me that people are defending eBay, has anyone sold anything there in the past few years?? I stopped using it after feeling completely ripped off with them taking $150 on a video card sale

          I’m not a fan of ebay at all, used them once in the last decade. I’m just curious why you’re arguing about percentages without any screenshots. At this point it’s just heresay.

          I mean, list it somewhere and see what bites you get. Bringatrailer, craigslist, etc. at least see if there is interest.

            Because it’s irrelevant to the point that they’re a scummy company who takes an insane cut of the sale price?

            But here you go. This is the category I’d be selling under.
