    Selling etiquette?

    Not sure if this should be a separate thread:

    I am drastically reducing my gear as a result of an intended move to a smaller house in the country. Included in this process regrettably is the Lazy J20. Ideally I was looking for £2000 or very close and initially advertised exclusively on here.

    However despite a lot of interest and several trade offers there has been no takers.

    Therefore it is also for sale on E-Bay but at £2200 to take account of fees etc. I have stated that it is collection only and would be happy with a cash deal for £2000.

    Unbelievably I have had several almost desperate enquires from Europe initially asking that I travel either to Calais? Gatwick or St Pancras. I have refused as I don't really have the free time to spare at the moment. Two individuals have then said they would come and collect for £1800. Should I agree and reward their perseverance or stick to my guns and sell to someone closer to home nearer to the price in due course, ideally from the forum. 

    I am much more inclined to drop down to say £1850 if necessary to someone on here. 

    Thoughts please?

    Stick where you are. Someone will buy it. You just need to be patient. The market is slow but not dead, especially for that amp even if there have been a few put up for sale recently

    Personally, I'd keep my powder dry for another day, and as sure as eggs is eggs, there will be another day...

    That's basically bollock'sd up all the bargain hunters at £1850, but is my opinion nonetheless. 

    Good luck whichever way you go.

    Thanks for the input - Currently talking to a guy from Nice happy to pay the £2000. As long as he will take responsibility for arranging a courier, collection and insurance I will go with that. 

    Thanks again and will keep you updated.

    I personally think eBay is the way to go and if you're looking for your price, which is perfectly acceptable market value, then that's the place that will realise it - although, if you'd offer shipping, which as @scoobysnack rightly says, isn't THAT much of a hassle, I think it would have sold in the first few days.

    I don't think you'll get much luck here unless you drop it considerably as, and I put myself at the forefront of this, the classifieds here are populated mainly by bargain hunters.

    And it's the time of year, all the buyers that would usually have that sort of money to drop on an amp are having 2 weeks away somwhere hot to pacify the wife and soften her up for the next GAS purchase.

    Bide your time cause (as they say here in Herefordshire) 'she ain't eatin nothing'! :-)

    I dealt with a guy in Nice about a year ago - seemed happy to pay full price and sort out courier then proceeded to ask loads of stupid questions and became quite rude in the end. It was a 1958 guitar and he expected it to look as if it had just arrived from the factory. Hope it's not the same guy.

    Jim,

    The selling market is poor and slow at the moment for everything, and none existamt for 'high end' stuff. I don't think that you get many 'biters', and if you do, move quickly. £1850 is a great price for it. Take it.

    So an amp that's cost in excess of £2300, and is supposed to be akin to the second coming, is lucky to reach £1850? That is not my idea of great business to be honest. I'd definitely keep it. I'm just not used to losing money on gear, period. Supposed that's what comes of taking a longer view of gear. 

    Obviously miles vary here. I'll confess that I'm so out of the loop as to not understand the economics of the current market, other than to say it's the complete antithesis to that which I've traded in for decades. 

    Just an opinion, not looking for a row. 

    EDIT. Jim, my apologies if this opinion is fouling your sale thread up, a PM from you will ensure it's deletion.

    Valid opinion. I didn't buy new and was lucky enough to get it at a good price so I am not losing money.

    That's the wind well and truly taken out of the sails of my argument... :))

    Honesty is the best policy. Hopefully you will attest to that. You bought my first Lazy J and I was totally honest about the tweaks I had asked Jesse to make & you tried it first.I know that subsequently you realised it wasn't how you wanted it & were able to put it back to stock with Jesse's help and not too much effort or cost. I always try and be honest and reasonable with people and usually find it reciprocated. Karma?

    Wish I can spot bargains like that. I joined the queue of 6 months plus and not a fully loaded one either. Lucky you :)

    Well done Jim...

    It's still an incredible amount of money as the new one retails for not much more.
