All that say buying is a matter of price and condition etc. are correct. In fact I think we all would appreciate knowing something about the sellers character.
The why sell? for any pro- is "because I deal in used gear as a part time business. I ask you why not just tell it like it is.
People always think that you have knowledge you don't. When you you say I want try another piece. They think you know more than many positive reviewers and don't believe that opinion is truth.
Thus, "The amp I am selling is a good one at low price only because I am courious I have graded it carefully and taken photos ... you may love it." and the simple YMMV reason.
This is translated into this guy knows good shit and bad and he doesen't want it because it is not in the good stuff group. My tastes are like everyone selling..
I admit YMMV is not accepted as easily as it should be. It is sad many people never understand that preferences vary.
The other reasons a hobbyist typically seem to ring true The churners who are quite convinced there could a great improvment with each sell and buy. The churner has about 50/50 buy and sell history. The semi pro about 75-90% sell.
It you sell because buy well and make a few bucks, hey this the Country that fought for you to be free to do that It is more than OK. If you give that as a true reason, in essence I am a home dealer, I am good with it.
You are a known semi- pro, there is no excuse requirement. Just like a declared dealer, do you ask a dealer why he is selling, Of course not.
It just seems so nuch more honest.
