Car accessories- security systems, radios, etc

Buying/Selling

Hi Everyone!

I was hoping someone may have advice :slight_smile:

I am hoping someone may know any third party or removal based companies that pay a sum for bulk car accessories (radios, security systems, speakers, subwoofers, etc.). They are older products and many have been discontinued. They do still work so I am hoping it is some place that can get use rather than one that wants to junk it all.

I have posted on Ebay, Craigslist, facebook, and amazon as individual and in bulk with limited success.

Any leads are appreciated! :smiling_face:

First, remove the list of items. This forum is not a retail site. Other than that, you have the usual list of suspects. Keep with them and be patient.

That’s a whole going out of business electronics store full of stuff…

EDIT: Link was removed…

Have you tried talking to some smaller independent stereo install shops?? They might have some interest in the stuff, maybe sell it on consignment or something, people always looking for a deal, customers and retailers…
Everybody keeps talking about how everything is cheap now and don’t last, your older stuff might be better then the new stuff out there, just thought… :man_shrugging:

I don’t usually click on links but my curiosity took over . Those are not resonable prices for old stuff. No wonder you are not getting much response.

Ok, that is helpful. What are you thinking? I am not familiar with anything car related. So the internet is all I have to go off of.

Did you comparison shop similar items on Ebay, Craigslist, facebook, and amazon? Start with a few items then advertise them at comparable prices. One of your big problems is the cost to hold the items vs. the price you are willing to take for them. For a website that rates sellers, you will likely have to undercut other, similar sellers to get things moving. Remember shipping costs as part of the sale too.

Yea- that is why I feel so stuck. I keep lowering the prices every few months; however, it does not seem to help.

Older electronics can have little or no value, and old speakers can age/dry out. You could try selling them with ebay auctions, no reserve (or the minimum needed to make it worth your while to go to the trouble), shipping additional and listed with the item(s), get rid of them as best you can. If they don’t attract bids that would tell me that item is worthless.

Remember, bidders will be very cautious around a new seller with few reviews, you’ll get lower bids than established sellers for the exact same item.

Ah, I appreciate that. That’s helpful.

If you want a better idea on the value of what you have, go to ‘completed items’ and ‘sold items’ on ebay, see what they actually sold for. ‘Buy it now’ prices can be way high.
