Selling all pedals individually vs selling as a job lot

bingefeller

has anyone here any experience with selling all their pedals?  What's the best way to do this so I will make the most on them?  I'm thinking a job lot as I can ship the lot in one batch, or maybe individually is better, although you the have to factor in postage costs and the fact that some might not sell.  

Advice is appreciated.  

viz

They’ll all sell in the end and postage cost is passed to the buyer in some way or other, so individually (imo)

Individually all the way.
Finding someone that wants all the pedals you are selling in one hit will have slim odds

So do you reckon just list them all on here and the usual other places and wait it out?

I suspect you will have a lot more luck selling individually but there is no reason why you can’t put up an ad with individual prices and a discounted price for the whole package.    
You might fall lucky and have one easy deal but at least you can gauge the interest in them separately.

Much easier to sell individually.

Most definitely individually.

Thanks again guys.  Looks like individually is the way to go.   I like @John_P  idea of discount for buying the whole package, or maybe offer discounts for buying more than one.  

I just jave have to make sure I really want to get rid of everything.

The rules with job lots on Ebay seem to be:

a) state how much the pedals cost from new. 
b) take 20% of this price and use it as your auction/selling price
c) throw in some patch leads
d) exhort what a bargain it all is

If a job lot listing deviates from this formula, then you know it's nicked and is the sort of thing that will end up down at Crack Converters if not sold online.

Why you selling?

Individually.  That whole batch of pedals has to be to someone's liking to buy them as a job lot, and that's not common, or unless they're thinking of moving them on. A Strymon set e.g. a Timeline, Mobius, Flint etc) or anything similar,maybe, but individual pedals, and I''m assuming different brands, nah.

Sure. You'll need to package and post each one of them as and when they sell, but you'll probably make more money and as others have said, let the price reflect the postage. Note: To give you an idea, I sent a boxed, Way Huge Pork Loin this week Special Delivery, Next Day and that cost £8.60 and that's a slightly bigger pedal than your usual stuff (Boss, MXR etc).

I'd say individually but offer combined postage at a reduced rate and/or discount for multiple purchases.

I haven't really been using individual pedals as much recently.  I have mostly been just using my Boss GT-1 and am happy enough with that.  I'm just a bedroom player so I don't really have any call for loads of pedals when the GT-1 can give me the tones I need. 

The thing is I need to be 100% sure I want to sell them.  I'm going to have a look over the weekend and weed out what I'm certain about flogging off.

I sold most of mine off for pretty much the same reason. I haven't regretted it at all although i thought i would. As long as you have the ones you use/think you will need then imo put them up for sale individually, (if you don't need the cash quickly avoid auctioning. Buy it now price or best offer with a mark up to enable a cut price if you get the right offer. (ime some people who offer tend to buy it now as they dont want to lose the item to a better offer so hold your horses you have about 48 hrs to accept. (ebay).
If your not in a hurry to sell just hold out for what you think is reasonable and Only Send Signed For Delivery!. I only ever sent one item out and forgot to do it signed for. Guess what .The buyer didn't receive the parcel and royal Mail only refunded me £23 for an item worth a lot more. Good Luck
