Sold in one day

It could be smoke and mirrors, maybe it was just relisted. Never the less it is a reference product and who don't love Audio Research.

I think also supply and demand applies here. A few years ago I noticed that certain familiar items were listed for a few hundred dollars less then they are now, as there was more of the same item listed for sale. Now once in awhile they rarely make an appearance on the used market and the seller is asking a premium price.

I can tell you that I have sold and purchased many items over the past few years and more recently, unless you have something rare and special, you can't expect a fast sale anymore like back in the day.

Cerrot, an audiophile friend (John) and I discussed this matter between ourselves and both agreed that if you see an item for sale that you really want, you should not try and lowball the seller, rather offer the full asking price especially if it's priced sensibly. So I agree with your reasoning if you want something bad enough.

Jmcgrogan2, I'm willing to bet that most people are financially impacted one way or another by previous and current economic conditions, some more so than others. Also I think that depressions, recessions, and wars are intentionally created to give the elite (the rich) more money and power. If you want to know what's wrong with America you only need to follow the money trail, you would be shocked to see what's at the end.

I don't know if Cerrot has any financial restrictions when it comes to buying audio but I was guilty of going overboard once in awhile myself but that is not the case now as it is not "THE" most important thing for myself but we all have had our day in the sun.

Taters, great bunch of people. They are very influential yet they are not elected by anyone and don't answer to anyone.

Oregonpapa, yes I have taking into account that many politicians are at the core of corruption and agree with your statement. If there exists an evil entity who's main objective was to completely take over the USA but had to go through the back door using corrupt politicians, they wouldn't have to look too far.

Mechans just a small distraction to see if we know as much about the state of the union as we do audio. I feel good that many other Audiophiles are aware. Lets continue the audio discussion and proceed with the Op's original thread, Sold in one day.

I remember several years ago selling within 24 hours most everything I listed for sale. I also recall selling many items thinking that I could eventually buy them back, it turned out to be harder than originally thought.
