Can I sell custom IEMs?

[Adam Smart]

hi All, after some advice from y’all, so a few years ago I bought some Unique Melody IEMs they were reshelled shure SE530s with an extra 2 drivers each side. They have been stunning earphones and have served me well on my daily commute however with all the worry of tube attacks I have opted for something I can hear what’s going on quickly and easily.

So I basically stopped using the customs, my question is can I sell them? Do people buy them 2nd hand to reshell? I would love a pair of wireless noise cancelling momentum’s and was hoping I may be able to sell or trade the customs for a pair, just want to know if that’s a “thing”

Thank you people

Yes, people do buy custom IEMs, but it's obviously trickier than universal ones.

If you want to sell on the Head-Fi classifieds, at minimum you need to be a member for 30 days and make 15 posts. So take care of that second part and you'll be good to go.

For market research, you can go here and type in "custom IEM" or whatever models you like in the search box.

Thanks for your super quick reply! One other question is it better to sell here or on EBay?

No reason why you can’t do both other than costing you a bit on eBay.

Ebay has a percent-of-sale fee but the IEM will get a lot more views there than here I think. I'm sure somebody would be interested!

TBH I'd take some better pictures though. Looks like a dark room with phone flash, lighting is key! Also correct auto focus is key

Good shout I will take some in the morning when it’s daylight and use an actual camera not the phone’s one! Thanks for the advice buddy!
