If you just need to move something out, with minimum wait, and are okay with getting the best price in a limited window of time, sell it
at Ebay auction.
If you can wait, use Ebay, but put a high enough price on it so it's not snapped up right away. You can lower the price in steps.
That's called "reverse auction".
This subject radios are an example. The receiver and transmitter each sold at Ebay auction for $3550 each. That's around $7k the pair.
Within a couple weeks they showed up back on Ebay with a longer, more glorious sales spiel, for a multiple of the original selling price.
As for whether they're only copy #3, who knows? Every time you dare say you have the best, most complete one of anything, someone
shows up with one new in the crate.
I learned from my own experience with an Ebay flipper. Now if I'm selling something that is actually "rare" or "rarely seen", not immediately
likely to be restocked by anyone, I will go with a fixed price sale.
Ebay is a fun and funny market. It's also the reason many products at your local store, higher end small products such as personal care or
some higher priced health supplements, for example, have an anti-shoplifting tag on them, sometimes even another tag hidden inside the
package, or why the product is behind glass.
