I had an old Rogers valve amp which I was going to 'dispose' of, however

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....

Yes, good way to sell that gear. Couple of tips -

Sell smaller items first to get some feedback. People will be more
inclined to bid on the more expensive stuff once you have feedback.

Search 'completed items' for the things you are selling before you put
them up. It will help you establish what your item is worth, what
starting price to use.

Provide shipping costs up front. Don't forget insurance!

Decribe accurately, including faults and cosmetic damage.

It's not a good idea to cut and paste text from other auctions.

Use clear, detailed photographs. More is better.

If you allow people to collect, "cash on collection" is best. Do NOT
let them pay up front for anything of signficiant value with Paypal.

Why not?
