Interesting and Informative on Pricing to Sell

Straight forward common sense approach which I think could work with audio gear.

This caught my eye in particular--
Rumor: I've heard that a not-uncommon practice in Japan is for the "seller" to be someone who doesn't even own the item. A guy will see a likely item in a local shop, go list it on eBay, and then, if it sells, return to the shop, buy it (for an asking price that's less than he listed it for, naturally) and ship it. I would imagine the stores don't mind; they get someone else to list their gear on eBay for them, and they sell it for what they wanted for it.

Seems like a certain "proficient seaman" from Japan may have been using that method on ebay.
 
One thing to consider when using eBay sold listings as a value reference;
Only use items with multiple bids.

An item that has sold with just a single bid can easily be a schill-bid.
