Hints on how to sell on A'gon?


I've been buying stuff on A'gon for a few months, and - inevitably - now I need to sell some stuff. Having looked at several thousand ads, I've developed a sense of what appeals to me (pictures, clear and honest descriptions, links to more info) and what doesn't (hype, opaque language, non-existent zip-codes).

But I wonder if any of you more experienced A'goners might offer tips on the best way to get stuff sold. In particular, I wonder if there are particular days of the week or months of the year that are especially good for A'gon sales. But any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

The stuff about packing is important.
The use of solid 2" foam on all sides between the inner box with the product, and the outer box is a great start. With this sort of double boxing you will not have nearly as many problems with shipping.
The rest I don't have much to say... Though I have sold a few items.
The selling of stuff folks might want goes pretty fast.
The stuff no-one wants.... hah.
Anyway, good luck.
And don't feel pressured to accept the 'first' offer to buy either. If you get several offers to buy in a short time, first, your item is desirable, second, the price is right or a bit low, third, you get to pick whomever you want of the potential buyers.
