Any idea what the McCormack is going to retail for ?
I went to an audio auction last week Saturday. A shop in Chicago was "assumed" by the bank and they auctioned off the assets. Since this shop carried Primare, i went there with the intentions of picking up their processor based on Stehno's comments. As it turns out, all of the Primare stuff went to one gentleman who had NO idea as to what he was bidding on. Most of it went VERY cheaply. It seemed that once he started bidding, most of the competition shrivelled up. As it turns out, he was a "bazillionaire" and could afford to outbid anyone on anything that he wanted. What was a $4000 processor went home with him for $800. Needless to say, i didn't waste my time or his bidding against him. The bad part is that he took all of this stuff and literally started tossing it into the bed of his pick-up truck : (
I started talking to him later and he had NO idea what he was going to do with this stuff or how to hook it up. He was looking for a "stereo" for his "apartment" and wanted to know if i could hook everything up for him. While it might have been a good opportunity for me to "network", i've got too much other stuff to do ( like posting here on Audiogon : ) Sean
