And smoking a little pot while listening to vintage equipment is still quite relaxing.

I’ve had luck on eBay, FB Marketplace and CL selling those along with big mixer boards.
Check for a local musicians exchange page on FB, we have a couple for this area.05/17/2018 at 12:10 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Trucker hat, MCM Tri top corner table, Schwinn Twinn, Jeanie rub, Headphones, Marantz 4400 #40177I have some experience selling vacuum tubes, I sold a pair of large triode radio tubes for a $1000.
I had a tube tester at the time and the only way to really make good money on tubes is if you can test them, the testers are not real cheap but not too difficult to learn how to operate.
Buyers want to know the status, tubes can look new but still be bad.05/16/2018 at 4:00 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 360: Is Diversification a Myth or Reality? #40106I’m diversifying by selling on CL & FB Marketplace, it’s easy and if it’s local you just need to entice them with a couple pics, let them view it in person.
I have no reason to believe eBay would ever go belly up or become a nightmare for the average seller but I could see using FB and CL to generate the income I need even in this smaller mid west market, plus if you will ship it would open up plenty of other buyers on specific FB groups.
For now I just dabble in it, eBay has the audience.05/16/2018 at 2:07 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: 110 camera film, Car parts, Stereo stuff, US Marshal patch, new Brother laser printer, Akai reel to reel #40096Congratulations!

05/03/2018 at 1:19 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 358: Knowing What You Know Right Now, Would You Start Your Business Today? #38991Thanks, but those numbers were for all of April.
05/03/2018 at 1:17 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 358: Knowing What You Know Right Now, Would You Start Your Business Today? #38990I think it would hinder attempts to procure these items for a low offer if they knew I was a reseller.
Sometimes, after a longer than usual garage sale conversation I may let on that I’ve sold stereo pieces on eBay but it’s usually with a disdain for the hassle of eBay selling.05/03/2018 at 9:55 am in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 358: Knowing What You Know Right Now, Would You Start Your Business Today? #38978Although I will strike up a conversation with sellers I rarely if ever disclose that I m a reseller.
If someone asks what I’m going to do with it I can honestly say “to play the box of records or tapes I’ve had since the seventies.” I do that as the equipment needs to be evaluated.
I will talk to them about my genuine interest in what they have for sale and people don’t usually ask questions.Yes! It incredible.
Under $900 on eBay for a refurbished X with 64gb.That’s cool. Usually there are some numbers or other markings.
You could just list it with what info you have, the interested experts will contact you with more info.05/02/2018 at 3:40 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 358: Knowing What You Know Right Now, Would You Start Your Business Today? #38932April 2018 $4874

I asked how much and she says just come get them…wow! And they all work.05/02/2018 at 2:53 pm in reply to: Scavenger Life Episode 358: Knowing What You Know Right Now, Would You Start Your Business Today? #38929I think people just like to see their opinion in print no matter how crappy it is.
I’m a firm believer in seat belts but when I’m roaming a neighborhood full of yard sales at 20mph I don’t bother, I disconnected the warning chime.
