Wrong time of year to be selling?

Very true. The "different cultures" have all come to visit me.

Reminds me of a British woman I met in Iran. She was fascinated with Islamic culture, so I asked her if she had visited any of the Maghreb countries of North Africa. "No" she said, "the Maghreb has come to visit me; where I live I'm surrounded by them".

Is it just me or is it a bad time to be selling kit?

I've got an ad on gumtree for a Linn LK140, it's in perfect working order but it has a small dent in the front and one on the back, I know this can be off putting to some but I've got it as low as £185, that's half what they can go for on Ebay. (i'd hang onto it if I didn't need the cash as it's a useful bit of kit)

My bad experiences with post and packing have put me off shipping it.

Is there a 'right time' to sell?

Rich.

Blimey, wished I'd seen this a few months ago when I bought my LK140!! I'd be seriously tempted to try bi-amping for £185.....??

You can get some great audio bargains at this time of year.

I did have it on here a few months ago, but a frustrating experience with a courier has put me off ever sending hifi again. I do realise this drastically cuts down on my chances of finding a buyer though unfortunately.

Do it, you won't regret it

I wondered if the time of year was bad for selling.
Before and after Christmas bad too it seems.
Thought September might be good as business usually takes off in print then.

'Course as with houses you only need one buyer.
Except on Ebay where you need 2 bidding against each other
