Best way to go about selling Epson 3800

<p>I have owned an Epson 3800 for about a year. I am not dissatisfied with the results from the printer but the reality is that it is probably just too much for me in terms of size and the amount of prints that I need to generate on a regular basis. This was a decent investment ($1300+). It is not criticial to get the absolute best price for it. It is a large printer and I am not sure how it will do shipping. I have no real experience selling it on an auction site and am worried about the hassle. What are the chances of selling it, shipping it and then having it returned? Any thoughts? Thank you!</p>

<p>I have not dealt with returning auction items ever before, you don't have to offer a return option.</p>

<p>I would try to sell it locally on Craigslist simply due to size and avoiding eBay / PayPal fees, but after a few months would put it up on eBay.</p>

<p>Same opinion here.Post it on Craigslist,it is free,no hassle over refunds,shipping,etc,specify local pick up only and payment in cash.I have had good luck with Craigslist so far,anything I ever posted was sold within a week.</p>

<p>Thank you for the suggestions - I didn't realize you could stipulate local pick-up only.</p>

<p>When selling through Craigslist insist on local buyers only that meet in person (many people will try to scam you into sending the item) with cash only. Also, make sure to meet in a public place.</p>

<p>My 2 cents worth. I have sold two printers on the "bay", and both experiences were positive. One of the printers was a large Epson printer, as large, or larger than your 3800. It was a $2,500 printer new, and I sold it for far more than I thought I'd get for it, to a party on the east coast who needed a large format printer for a specific task. It fit their niche quite well.</p>

<p>I packaged it carefully, and shipped it quickly, and the buyer was quite happy. If the product works and you're honest with the buyer, then you probably will not have any problems.</p>

<p>My problem with Craigslist is the lack of privacy on selling some items. A printer like this will most likely require someone coming into your office or home to view the printer and get a demonstration. Selling items that can be shown to a potential buyer in a public space, such as a coffee shop or shopping area parking lot makes more sense to me. Call me paranoid, but not everyone is as kind and gentle as a photo-dot-netter.</p>

<p>If you could get it without ink the 3800 would cost less than $500 as a warrenteed Epson refurb (ie better than new, with free shipment). It might be smarter to keep it than to sell it.</p>

<p>Craig's list is fine if you're comfortable profiling your probable buyer by telephone after initial response. I wouldn't consider selling a 3800 to someone who didn't know exactly what it was, wasn't already familiar with other Epson printers and who wasn't excited about the <strong>BIG</strong> bargain (assuming no $ for what's left of the soon-outdated ink).</p>

<p>Another vote for eBay...along with paypal.<br /> <br /> Personally I won't deal with money orders or checks to pay or receive payment for eBay auctions. Not only is it a hassle, but that is where you run into trouble.</p>
