Are our own reviews tainted ?

If I buy a component or a cable and I love it, I can't wait to post a comment on it because Im excited. But what about the products we buy that do not live up to our expectations ? Usually we do not like to talk about them. Now before I say this, I want to say I think everyone on Audiogon is great. All my dealings have been pleasant and enjoyable. Now if I want to sell a component or a cable I would never post , and Im sure 99 percent of you , would never post, a false hype of the product. But, and Im being Honest, I would not say XYZ cable sucks and then put it up for sale on the Gon. What do you guys think ? We knock the magazines {rightly so} for not knocking products. Arent we to a certain degree doing the same thing? Thanks. Michael.

Your not questioning MY views because I would never talk good about a product I own- :) Well maybe just a little. Being an audiophile is like a lot of things men pride themselves in, I put it in the class of things NO man will admit he is bad at, i.e. sex, driving and of course great hearing. Which is one of the reason's there aren't many woman around here.

Being honest about this, I may be proud(pride of ownership) of some of my gear- maybe all of it :^) but its not to create a market for it used, the gear I use/speak highly of ain't goin' no where no time soon!
