I had an old Rogers valve amp which I was going to 'dispose' of,
however my daughter put it on ebay where it fetched £130, purchased
by a very nice gentleman in Japan, however it cost over £90.00 just
to send it to him!



Interesting - I need to dispose of some pretty specialised bits of kit -
monoblok valve amps, electrostatic speakers etc - and thought I would
have to look around for specialist sites or magazines. Is eBay in fact
the best way to go? I must be the only bloke who's never used it....


Hi Geoff. ;-)

Excellent way of selling near anything. One tip is to find out the cost
of packing/carriage beforehand and include that as a firm cost on your
listing. And also mention they may be collected in person.
Stupidly high carriage costs - or not stated ones - put many off bidding.
