Items for sale without remotes.

Believe what you like and Buyer beware.   Most that live in cities of any size have pawn shops.  AudiogoN seems to have very few items for sale without remotes, but a few.  ebay and pawn shops have many items being sold without remotes.  If you choose to believe that audiophiles are forgetful slobs that loose remotes routienly, then good for you.  However I have never bought a used piece of high end audio gear without remotes and have never sold one that way either.   And it you believe that nicer high end items are never stolen, then I have an island in NYC I would like to sell you, and a used Porsche Speedster that a little old lady only drove to church on Sundays.

As far as my ownership and selling of the NYC island, I was thinking of some beads and trinkets.

Ahh...got to love the "remote possibilities" thought..., or is that lack of thought? I am so confused. I am sure there are honest elected officials that could straighten me out. Ouch, somtimes when I put my "tounge in cheek" I end up biting it.

An interesting thread as a "heads up" about missing remotes being taken by some as a personal attack on themselves and thier "remotes" status.   It would seem that doing reasearch on all threads and all replies for a book on the human condition as related to Audiopiles would be less than a challenge.

I would think your depth of thought would allow you to sleep in peace thinking of sugar plums....etc.

I once tried to invent a remote that would work on your mate, but only two functions.....volume and mute.  It never got into production but I did get a good amount from  a company for the idea.

Duracell, you mean "the copper top battery".  Wow was the world ever that simple minded that your main push on marketing a battery was the color on the upper side of the battery.  I guess Audio Research should have marketed their early items as the "Silver front with black handles gear"
