Several years ago I bought a piece of equipment for about $13,000. I used the shit out of it and kept it in good condition but I dont see myself getting back into it. I’m expecting to get about $6000 for it but since it was delivered on a pallet, shipping it is out of the question.
Feels like a bad idea to accept a check/QuickPay/venmo/anything that can be canceled afterward so am I stuck with cash?
And are there better sites for this than Craigslist? I don’t have Facebook.
I’d be more likely to follow the advice of that snark if you didn’t follow it up by suggesting I use the worst sales platform on the planet. Ebay fees are like 15-20% of the sale cost.
Bruh I didn’t realize until after I got halfway through the body that you meant “sell” and not “steal.” I clicked on this hoping for some super wild Lemmy drama where some dumbass was publicly asking how to commit grand larceny.
If what you are selling qualifies as:
Select Business & Industrial categories:
Heavy Equipment Parts & Attachments > Heavy Equipment Printing & Graphic Arts > Commercial Printing Presses Restaurant & Food Service > Food Trucks, Trailers & Carts
The fee is only 3%.
Alas, it is not. I wouldn’t do business with a company that charges ANY 15%+ fees on sales regardless.
Where are you seeing that percentage?
Those were from memory but it looks more like 13-15% plus the listing fees and anything else. Still a full grand off the sale so my position stands
It’s insane to me that people are defending eBay, has anyone sold anything there in the past few years?? I stopped using it after feeling completely ripped off with them taking $150 on a video card sale
I’m not a fan of ebay at all, used them once in the last decade. I’m just curious why you’re arguing about percentages without any screenshots. At this point it’s just heresay.
I mean, list it somewhere and see what bites you get. Bringatrailer, craigslist, etc. at least see if there is interest.
Because it’s irrelevant to the point that they’re a scummy company who takes an insane cut of the sale price?
But here you go. This is the category I’d be selling under.
