Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer


So, what's with the Chicago used gear dealer who constantly advertises tons of used Wilson, (the same models for over a year or more) yet anyone who calls him to buy a pair get's totally discouraged by him on Wilson?

Is this just the old bait and switch with him having none of them in stock? Right now he must have 12 ads of the 20 on Audiogon- yet when called about actually buying a pair he doesn't even attempt to subtly switch you to something else. He makes you feel like an idiot for considering buying Wilson and will "only sell you a pair of you insis"t and then tells you "but I know I"ll only be buying them back from you".

curious if you offered to pay his asking price and he refused to sell them to you?

I’ve made many purchases from him, great advice and fast shipping...and deals completed very quickly 

lots of people don't like Wilsons, but if he has the speakers you want at a price you like just buy them and enjoy  and who cares about the dealer...

the op posted a thread a few days earlier about trouble buying Wilson's from 3 different dealers...also issues with trades, set up, delivery/pickup...curious how this all resolved
