A lot of the time it is just not worth it to me to sell by mail. I used to sell $20-30k a year of high priced items on eBay. Guitars, ham radios equipment, cameras etc. I won't do it anymore because eBay has turned into an etsy for all practical purposes. If you haven't sold for a while it takes a year or so to build up to a level that allows you to sell anything over a few dollars. It has turned into a marketplace of home businesses selling items at levels that I can't believe nets them over $1/transaction (read sports cards or hair bows).
At this time in my life, I would rather pay a commission than fool with it. I simply don't want to spend my time packing, running to the shipper etc. I have other things I want to do and little quality time left to do it. I have a basement full of things that are expensive and would be for sale but I have no interest in spending the time to do it. That will be how the kids earn their inheritance.
