Selling Your Old A/V Equipment

New technologies pop up faster than weeds and make you lament having bought that new HDTV or pretty much any home theater component a year or even a few months ago. But once the temptation to buy has been satiated, don’t just toss that now replaced device in the closet. Why not sell it instead? Not only can you recover some of your costs, but someone else can benefit from getting a perfectly good component. The path to selling can have unexpected pitfalls, and it can help to approach it as if you were the buyer yourself (i.e., think defensively). So we’ve put together a few pointers that could help in avoiding problems as you turn your unwanted components into cash.
