Hints on how to sell on A'gon?


I've been buying stuff on A'gon for a few months, and - inevitably - now I need to sell some stuff. Having looked at several thousand ads, I've developed a sense of what appeals to me (pictures, clear and honest descriptions, links to more info) and what doesn't (hype, opaque language, non-existent zip-codes).

But I wonder if any of you more experienced A'goners might offer tips on the best way to get stuff sold. In particular, I wonder if there are particular days of the week or months of the year that are especially good for A'gon sales. But any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

I try to offer things at as low of a price as possible, but within reason (i.e., 25 cents on the dollar is probably not very often going to be "within reason"). People love a bargain, and my stuff (not very much yet, but that could change at some point) has always sold fast.
What Elizabeth and Bdgregory said!

Both of the sellers who sold me electronics packed the items to the hilt, and I was extremely impressed. Pardales packing the Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC and Lak packing the Shunyata Hydra--Lak even TRIPLE boxed the unit (partly because he was also sending cords). It's hard to adequately express just how much these two sellers impressed me with their attention to detail.
