What are everyone's preferences when it comes to selling albums (eBay, discogs, etc.)? And when selling do you sell at median price?

If you like endless bickering about prices and shipping costs, unsolicited trading proposals with some of the most bizarre items you can think of, insults and downright threats; Fear not!: Put your record up on "marktplaats.nl' to satisfy all you masochistic needs.

There are some second hand stores that take in records, supposedly for people who are less well-off to be able to afford some stuff. Sadly these stores ask ridiculous prices for everything, so it never actually reaches the poor.

I have never tried E-bay or Discogs, but to me, it just isn't worth it to sell stuff and I have to admit I have thrown large amounts of records and CD's in the trash (And not regretted it for a minute, I'd probably thro my left arm in the trash to avoid a single encounter with the typical "marktplaats-dweller")

Of course some of the really special stuff isn't going to the landfill , but I am not selling it either.
I actually like trading, unfortunately it's almost impossible to do in practice.

Ebay has a broader audience but is perhaps higher risk--their policies are fairly anti-seller if a buyer gripes, and I've read horror stories about shady buyers winding up keeping the records and their money. I have only sold a tiny number of records there, but I will buy.

Discogs has a 2% lower fee and less bullshit (though still potential for bullshit like PayPal charge backs). I've probably sold around 150-160 orders in the past four years there without any issues, though I am quite careful about grading, condition description and packaging, and I don't list much that is under VG+. I like that you don't have to relist items like you do on eBay or worry about BS like ebays sorting algorithm burying your listings for arbitrary reasons.
