Best Place for Pre-Owned Cables


I'll start by saying I hate buying audio new.  Many dealer margins are 50%, almost all 40% or more.  I especially dislike buying cables new.  I think I have maybe one or two I purchase new in my system.  I'm constantly looking on A'Gon for cables ( I need speaker cables) and any place else I can think of.  Anyone have any other sites they can suggest?  I've looked on usedcable.com but their prices are absurd.  Most of the stuff they have is YEARS old.  They're selling AQ speaker cables that were released in 2004 at 50% of their new price.  To me, anything that old is scrap.  I might entertain amps/preamps of that vintage but never digital (it's like buying a ten year old PC) and rarely cables.
I haven't found another good site (Audiomart is mostly an overlap of A'Gon) but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I know what he was trying to say. And pointed out why he was wrong. Maybe you missed it. I’ve been a Top Seller for many years.

I look at eBay. I guess you have been luckier than I have. With the 10% fee ebay charges sellers (plus the 3.5% PayPal fee) it's tough to find anything cheap. I know I only sell there when I have to.

>>>>But we’re not talking about selling on eBay, we’re talking about buying on eBay. Hel-loo! It’s a competitive market, a buyers’ market actually. In other words you cannot expect to be successful in this game by artificially jacking up the price to make up for eBay and PayPal fees. Repeat, it’s a buyers market.
