I expect to be moving later this year and I won't be able to take some
of my equipment with me. Unfortunately, I have no idea what it is worth
or where to try to sell it. Any suggestions?


I sell stuff on Craigs List all the time. Just sold a pair of VTL 140
Monoblock amps that I have had sitting around for several years, Got $1500
for the pair. Nice thing about Craigs List is that it's local. The buyer
comes and gets the stuff, brings cash, no shipping. As to prices look on
E-Bay. That should give you a rough idea what people are paying for used
audio gear these days. Worst-case scenario, if you ask too much on
Craigs-List, and nobody bites, you can always re-list it at a lower price.

I have a pair of Apogee Divas w/ DAX driven by dual 200w/c Classe amps.
I've used Craigslist and I like it but I'm not sure it is the best
choice for this. What do you think?


Well, I reviewed a pair of Apogee Signatures once and I'd hate to have to
ship them anywhere. They weighed a ton and the MDF "cosmetic" cases for them
were real fragile. So, I'd say that a venue that let you sell something like
that locally would be a real boon. They come to your place, they bring money,
they cart heavy speakers away. Sounds good to me.

Of course, it might depend on the area your from. Here in the San Francisco
Bay Area, I see sings like Magneplanar speakers, Threshold monoblocks, Linn
Sondecks, Empire 598 and Panasonic SP-10 turntables for sale all the time
(along with more prosaic stuff like Emerson receivers and Ion turntables). So
I guess you'll just have to check your local home electronics category and
see what turns-up there.
