MsSonnetMarwood -> General question about pricing/selling toys (2/13/2006 12:42:03 PM)
I'm considering some serious downsizing of my toy bags - I have a ton. I'm getting to a point in my life where I just don't want so much clutter. I'm curious how much of a market there is for "gently used" equipment - I would only sell those in pristine condition that I ended up for one reason or another not using so much. Things that would be on the "block" are some floggers, paddles, bondage devices, etc. It seems to me that 50% to 70% of the original cost of the toy is a reasonable re-sale price, depending on specific condition. Most of the craftsmen are "recognizable names". Thoughts? Comments?

Based on what sold and who took their entire table home at the end of the day, I'd say that 25 percent of originally paid price is pretty much the maximum one can expect.

Due to the potential cost of toys, If you like them (as most of us do) I for one would like to see what you have to offer. I have a small collection (now) and am always looking for intresting and diffrent things to try and use. so what do you want to get rid of?

I was just curious as to what kind of a market there was for second-hand equipment. Ideally I'd like to get my closet full of goodies whittled down to two bags. I'm not sure if I can let things go that easily though LOL.

You might consider the old tradition of passing those items on to people you feel are deserving freinds. People who have bot the knowlegde to use them as well as the loyalty to your freindship that may both deserve them and have use for them. Just an idea In Leather Archer
