The Logic Off Topic list

Ebay is not that great. If you want to buy, I often see things going for 
outrageous prices. For example, I was looking for some Mac Radeon Graphic cards. 
They get bid up to the point that they are actually more expensive than you 
could find them new. On the other hand, when you sell you have the dilema of 
risking selling it cheap if you get unlucky, or paying a lot of fees to ebay to 
guarantee a high price (but not guarantee a sale). I put a mac motherboard on 
ebay for $60 and ended up paying $4 and no one bought it.

In the LA/San Diego, Southern California area, you can sell (for FREE) on 
www.recycler.com.

Sweetwater.com used to have a "trading post" where you could place free ads.

And there was a site at Harmony Central as I recall. Again for free.

If you are selling CD's or books, then Amazon is the place. I have sold 
hundreds of CDs and books through Amazon. You pay nothing unless you sell, and it 
stays online 3 months and then you can renew if it doesn't sell. They collect 
the money for you, accumulate it, and wire it to your bank account once a 
month. They also determine shipping, so there is no haggling and rarely any time 
when you even need to have communication with the buyers.
