Hello. This is my first post, but I've lurked on the Audiocircle site for a while. I've accumulated some gear over the years that I would like to begin selling and am looking for advice on the best way to do it. I thought I'd ask the local group, since I am located outside St. Louis, in wine country. I don't have much experience selling used equipment, so I'm wondering if the local Craigslist is a good option, or should I be looking at Audiogon or the Trading Post on this site. I'm looking to sell mostly mid-priced, good quality gear, i.e.  pair of Hafler 9130 amplifiers (one was modded by Musical Concepts), Hafler 915 pre, Epos ES11 speakers, and a couple other items. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Pan, welcome aboard 

I'd suggest posting it here at AC first. It's free and you've got a targeted audience. GAS has a fleamarket thread where the local guys sell their gear.

In turn, do a cross thread in the appropriate AC Trading Post thread (they are subdivided by amps, sources, etc)

The local Craigslist is a wasteland of low end gear. On occasion a decent piece pops up but mostly it's dominated by car stereo and old Sound Design (type) stuff. It's probably still worthy of posting it on CL but I wouldn't expect much response unless it's people trying to buy it for 50% what its worth.

AGon and eBay are OK but you've got the fees and what I call the "needy" buyers to deal with. Both of those sites are a minefield because of the buyers IMO.
 
Anyway, good luck selling your gear. Hopefully you can find somebody local that will give you close to your asking price

Thanks for the advice, Scott. I think I'll try a couple different approaches and see if I have any luck.

panord, a friend is interested in the Epos. Any pics and pricing info? Also what else do you have?

I've a couple e-mail inquiries on the EPOS speakers, as well as a pair of Magnepan MMG's, so I'm going to hold off on posting more info on them for the moment. I'm also looking to sell:

1 Hafler 9180 amplifier. 105 wats/channel. Silver rackmount faceplate. Modified by Musical Concepts - $500
1 Hafler 9180 amplifier. Black standard faceplate. $250
1 Hafler 915 preamp. Black standard faceplate. $150.

Also the following  that I'd like to sell, but don't really have a price in mind
NAD 5000 CD player
NAD Tuner
Older B&O turntable

A couple DIY type items I'd also be open to selling:
Audio Nirvana Super 12 Cast Frame drivers - $250 for the pair
Fostex FE206e drivers - $50 for the pair
