Much of the "fun money" I make is by restoring vintage loudspeakers owned by others. Their owners bring them, I restore them in about three weeks, and the owner takes them home.
But on Monday evening, I actually sold a pair of Dynaco A-25s I had restored about a year ago. I had held them too long for a fella in San Luis Obispo (he never came North to pick them up), and finally relisted then on Craigslist a couple of months ago. They brought in $260.
I like it when I sell the "extra" speakers I have here, because it clears up space for future projects. I live in a relatively small apartment, European style. Do you have enough space where you live for extra stuff? Or are you space-limited, like me?

@TheHorse A small flat with just one main room so the bed is effectively in the main living room or sitting room, hence bedsit - featured in this song by Soft Cell - Bedsitter

I guess it is a good price for the loudspeakers, congrats.
We also live in a small apartment, we have no place for extra stuff. I am trying to sell many stuff now to get some space (and money).

@TheHorse First, I am trying to sell my books, because they need so much space. And I have some older stuff like a photo camera from the '70s.

I live in a four bedroom house with lost of space for storage, however, because I'm a hoarder, I seem to can't part ways with old stuff and they accumulate over time.

We have oodles of space really but I like to keep it that way. I love our big lounge. We can have a small concert in it or set it up as a photo studio or just spread out tables to make photo frames or whatever. It's great that you sold the speakers.

We did a 'purge' of a lot of stuff back in 2014 so we have room. But hopefully no new stuff to clutter the place up agan.

I am trying to find places to sell something's to. I took them to a few antique places but no lock. I never sold anything on Craigslist. Is it easy and have good results?
