This is a survey of sorts. Please rate the various venues, from best to worst. for selling and/or buying used gear. It's all subjective, I know, but that's the point. I think it'd be interesting to see how various places match up in people's minds. Give some feedback as to why you rate them where you do, also.

- Amazon
- Craigslist
- eBay
- Local photo shop (consignment)
- Photo forums (POTN, FM, etc.)
- Other

Thanks.

Craigslist-cash, but buyers flake out and lowball
Forums-good people and few headaches if careful
Amazon-convenient system and payment, but buyers can return within 30 days for any reason
eBay-expensive and have had a number of buyers try to scam me
Local shop-not worth it unless I was super desparate and needed to sell something the same day

I use Amazon and CL. Amazon is good for high value items, CL for little stuff.
