i am going to have to sell one of my pairs of DPA omnis. this pair of
4006s is less than one year old, perfect condition with boxes, charts,
etc. i am hesitant to sell on ebay, though that may be the best way to
reach the broadest market for this rather esoteric gear. are there
other, better venues for selling expensive recording equipment? other
forum classifieds? thanks.

Put up a post (ONE) on this group with a price.

Although I do not own much high end stuff, 2/3 of what I do own came
from members of this group.

After a week with no offers go to eBay.

And if you agree to sell at your asking price to one person, and then
receive a better offer from someone else, it would be considerate to at
least tell the first propect that you've decided not to sell at your
original price. At least in my opinion.

Actually it would be inconsiderate to take a higher "bid" if someone
offered your asking price. If you advertised it as "$**** or best
offer" then it's reasonable to consider offers, at least for a
reasonable period of time. But once you decide to sell at a price,
that's it.

Yes, I seem to recall from a business law class in college that:

Offer + acceptance = contract.

If only it were true. Here in Canada (I don't know if you have the
same problem in the US) when someone puts their house up for sale, they
can list any price they want.

My friend saw a house that was listed at $230K. She offered $260K.
The accepted offer (selling price) was $350K.

The selling agent, of course, listed it way below what they thought
they wanted to get to build up excitement/traffic. This is common
practice here during a really hot market. Of course, they probably
got the people making offers to bid each other up. It is illegal to
do that, so they find subtle ways of doing it.

None of this type of activity serves the publics' good---it leads to
over hyped house prices and also wastes a lot of people's time.

That happens here, too, but that's because there's a huge demand for
houses. Good thing it's not that way with high priced studio gear.

That's the way I try to handle things, but I can also understand where
someone who really needs the mony may feel compelled to ignore that. I don't
agree with it, but I can understand it.

Everyone needs money. The seller should decide how much he wants for
it and ask that amount. If nobody wants to pay what he thinks he
should get, he can decide to keep it or lower his price.

Auctions are something else.
