Ebay is fast void of legitimate big ticket items. If you see a
Jupiter-8 there its actually a Sarlacc trying to eat you.

Reverb has those schnautzy prices but the dealers take offers.
I have made reasonable offers under unreasonable asking prices
a few times and made a favourable deal.

Some of the silly stuff I see there are things that are new
and freely available in the local shops listed far over retail.

Vemia or person to person are the only ways to sell or purchase
large ticket items in my opinion.

Ebay is for plastic hoopty doos from China.

Reverb is ok, but stay within your budget and offer accordingly.
