RE: question about selling clarinets

Author: ron b  Date:   2001-12-16 01:33 Might be helpful to know what neck o' the woods you live in, Betsy, but, in my estimation, I don't think a one-time consignment through a store will bring you the price you want. Local newspaper ads cost a lot ($14 for 'three lines, three days' here in Sacramento, CA ). eBay fees are peanuts considering the worldwide exposure you get, usually a week's worth, and you can place a minimum (reserve) price you're willing to accept. If no sale, you can re-list it. You can also specify 'as is, no returns' - when it sells, you're done You deal with the mailing chores after the sale of course. For a small fee at Sneezy's classifieds (donation at your discretion) you also get worldwide exposure to clarinet specific buyers and I don't think there's a time limit. Same mailing thing after the sale, but you're more likely to give a 'return if not satisfied' (less postage). That, to me, seems like the most laid back way to go though, if you're not in a hurry. I'd give Sneezy's classifieds a try first if it were me.
