Good time to sell?

pledgeX

First off, apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum. I couldn't work out where to put it .

I bought myself a new TV and I want to shift my old one. It's a 2 year old 42" LG. It's absolutely faultless but I have no longer have use for it.

I was going to stick it on eBay, but wondered if this is a good time to do it? I imagine a lot of people wont have the cash to splash this soon after Christmas. On the other hand, some people might be looking for some January sale bargains or have christmas money to spend.

Do you think it's worth holding off for a little while or do you think it's pretty much irrelevant?

Better off trying gumtree as local and for large item less issue about organising delivery and option to demonstrate working to buyer so jo comeback that it arrived and did not work.

I've seen a lot of larger items for sale/sold via local 'your town buy and sell' pages on Facebook too

As you stated yourself, not many people are going to be flush this month so you may be better off waiting.
Having said that, it depends what you are expecting to get for it as to how quickly someone will take it.

It'll be collection only on eBay so they can have a demo if they want to.

I'm not entirely sure how much it's worth either. I've seen them go between 120-220 on eBay so I'd rather go the auction route than the fixed price ala gumtree/facebook/local ads
