Selling Secondhand Naim Kit in UK

Nic,

Also consider advertising your hi-fi on loot. Again split the system into individual items and sell them singularly.

The difference with loot is you name your price rather than receiving bids.

Ebay is my preferred route and I've succesfully bought and sold Naim as well as other makes. Photos are a must and an honest description. I find it's better to arrange for the auction to end at the weekend, mid to late afternoon. You may find that you get a rush of late bids in the last half hour or so of the auction adding to price. Start price should be low to moderate to encourage bidding and set a realistic reserve just in case. So far I've had no problems with nonpayment and all transactions were a breeze. Good Luck if you do decide to go this way.

Why does Naim kit go for a fortune on Ebay ?
Recently saw a 18 month old CD5 go for £840.
Not just Naim but Arcam gear as well. It's good if you are selling but restrictive if you are buying.

And then there's the eight year old Hicap at £585 last week:

Ouch!

Lots of sunglasses in the bid history though.....

There is always a load for sale.

I have sold all my previous naims on Loot.

i have had nothing but positive experiences on buying and selling Naim gear on Ebay and Loot.com.

All people i have done business have been very helpful and the gear has arrived exactly as specified.

Often you find people selling & buying on these sites also use the forum here and may respond to you when you post a question about a bit of kit you going to buy/sell.

I find loot.com email alerts good which notify you when a new piece of Naim gear becomes available on the site you can then purchase their early-bird tokens.
Loot.com also enables you to list items you are looking for, has worked well for me.
Apart from that my advice would be use ebay to sell first and use a reserve price (the lowest you would sell for) with some pictures. If it doesn't sell put it on Loot.

Thanks for your advice.
All my kit is now on hififorsale.com
I'll try this for 2 weeks and then try eBay when the War is finished (hopefully)

Cheers

Perhaps this should be a new topic. I feel that there is 'ebayinflation'. It looks that way with LPs, and at the beginning of the year I bought using Loot.com a bit of Creek kit for £45 less than something similar on ebay.

I agree, that CD5 which went for £840, mate got an ex-dem one for £920 and 2 yr guarentee. It's ok if you get a bargain but methinks some people are happy to take that risk.

Caps Lock stuck by any chance?

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned pink fish media where you can sell it for free and find a loving home for it amongst fellow audiophiles -
