advice on selling the Fathom - 03/25/09 12:13 PM
Thankfully this isn't a post about hard luck economic times. But I've seriously been considering the F112 Fathom sub that I won a year ago. The way I've been looking at it, the proceeds of the sale could fund some other toys that I'm thinking of getting.
My main concern is that I don't want to ship the Fathom. It's well over 100 lbs and I think I might struggle to pack it as well as JL did when they shipped to me. Plus the box isn't brand new anymore, bearing the brunt of the initial ship. I'm thinking of selling it locally but I wonder if I'll even find a local buyer. If I were to have to custom pack it on my dime, it would probably cost enough that I don't think it would be worth it to me. How have you guys in the past shipped something like this? If you think local, what are the best venues online to find a buyer? Audiogon?
TIA
