Whatcha got? There's classifieds here, not sure if they're the best option but enquiring minds want to know.

Hard to say, depending on what you've got. I haven't sold much, don't have much to sell, but my eBay sales have gone off without a hitch, and they've lowered their final value fee to 3.5% on musical instruments to match Reverb.

I've only bought on Reverb, not sold. The plus side to Reverb is that its owned by the same people who own Chicago Music Exchange. They know their stuff, and from what I've read, they will get actively involved if there's a dispute about condition, etc., unlike eBay, which has a reputation of almost always siding with the buyer. In either case, you still have to face the possibility of a shady buyer disputing through PayPal.

I put up my first item for sale on ebay last week, and prepare for this.

Ebay is great if you buy. But I have noticed sellers responding with anger if there is a problem with an item, perhaps because some buyers take advantage of the ebay protection. I'd say 99% of my ebay buying have ended well, but I don't expect that to happen when I start selling stuff.

I usually post on Reverb & Craigslist simultaneously.   I'd rather find a local buyer thru CL, but doesn't always work out that way.  You have to deal with a lot of flakes on CL also.  Talkbass forum is also a great place to sell for bass-related gear.

Definitely let us know what you're gonna sell though, lotsa great deals made right here.
