[QUOTE="Skylark, post: 921788, member: 1555"] The OP has unrealisticlly high hopes if he expects to sell 2hnd gear for the prices achieved in the US/EU. The market there is huge, more buyers/collectors with fistfuls of cash to push prices up, comparatively here in SA the market is tiny and buyers probably have a fair degree less disposable income. Also places like eBay service the worldwide market, which results in localised demand(some markets or regions revere certain goods more than others and hence will pay more) artificially inflating some eBay prices. For instance if a seller will only ship an item within the US he may be able to get $300 but if he'll ship to Germany he can sell it for $500. So eBay or HifiShark prices are not the final arbitrator of value, unless you are in fact selling your item into the same markets as listed therein. [/QUOTE]
