New stuff from spain selling at less then used


Hi, im curious about what everyone thinks about the recent items put up on audiogon. They are from spain and are mostly new but sell for about 2k less than their used prices. I was going to buy an amp from him but it does seem very fishy especially as today another person from spain came on selling new equipment well below new prices. I think this guy/guys is kinda like that the guy from england about a year back who stole tons of money from audiogoners. I know that the american companies (Pass and ML) sell their stuff for almost double their us costs overseas. So it doesnt seem logical that these prices are for real. I also offered to pick up the amp in spain..... through a friend to see what he would say (he might not even have the amp) but he hasnt responded yet. Let me know what your oppinions are... i dont think im gonna chance this one.

Repeating what Justlisten said - isn't there a way to get some help from audiogon or better yet from Pass Lab directly? In my view, the only way these prices can possibly be real is if this guy is (or was) a dealer who now wants out, but Pass Lab for whatever reason is not willing to take the stuff back -- consequently, he is forced to recoup by selling at dealers cost.

Just thinking out loud…
