Because I am also a sometime trumpet player, I subscribe to he Trumpet list.
There is a lot more selling done there . . . and seems to work fine.

Can I buy or or sell on Klarinet?

Yes, but you'll probably have better luck advertising at schools and
music stores locally. Remember that the readers of the KLARINET mailing
list are located throughout the world.

Unless you are in one of the geographically dense areas of the list
(e.g. San Francisco Bay Area, or Washington D.C. to New York corridor)
the trouble and time involved in shipping an instrument to a potential
buyer for evaluation may not be justified unless the instrument has some
unique value.

Repeated commercial advertising is more likely to alienate readers of
the list than generate customers.

Since Klarinet is unmoderated, there's no ban against selling; I have an
"ad" in my signature, in fact. "Peer pressure" seems to work just fine
to keep blatant advertising off the list, and there are times when there
is significant overlap between supplying information and selling, no
matter _how_ careful someone is to try & keep the two separate.
