There are brands/items that people want to buy and selling them is easy... go to Audio Circle and page through the trading posts ads and you will see what has sold.... 50-70% of retail is realistic.
Everything else (the less desirable items) isn’t going to sell itself... like it or not it takes great photos, a good description and aggressive pricing..... and there is a ton of this stuff clogging up all of the sites because it is not desirable stuff and it is not going to get 50%... let alone 70% of retail.
The easy stuff can be easily sold on any site... the hard stuff... visibility matters.
The easier you you can make it for the buyer... the more trust you can create by linking to prior sales, the faster and easier your sale will be.
Knowing the market and being realistic is key... example... you may have paid $1200 or more for kef ls50s... then a kef/amazon run a sale at $900... which you don’t realize. You look at Hi-Fi Shark and conclude that $900 is a fair price for selling yours... and see others listed for $875-$975... guess what... you are not getting $900... and $700 might not get it done if you want a quick sale.... what you paid isn’t the benchmark.
