I have advertised a couple of nolonger required items in the for sale area. Sometimes new and unopened. I only try to sell items I nolonger have a use for. I have managed to sell only one item.
I have a inventory of all the items I own that have some value and they are automatically depreciated to give a current value. I would always like to get this valuation but I am always open to an offer.
I have had some ridiculous offers on some items but after two or three haggles I realised that the person knew what he could get on ebay and was only looking for a bargain he could re-sell.
To tell the truth if a potential buyer with limited resources comes round to see me and gives a good enough reason that I can verify I would most likely give the item to him. My recent give aways include an operational 8" Dobsonian with a Dob II drive, an ETX125, a DS2080, a couple of computers complete with Windows XP (no older than 3 years) and other items non astronomy. I guess that as an OAP I have more money than I need and just need to clear some space for my next project.
