The way I respond to low balers when selling speakers , the price is for the pair not one speaker. Not only people expect 60 per cent off list on a 9/10 condition product , they always ask me where is the bass? Slight discoloration in the veneer in which is in the natural of the wood. Also a 3 year warranty . I sold all my high end gear losing to much money and the Morons . I purchase a Rotel R-12 intergrated amp and the new Sonus Faber there bottom line speakers 1600 a pair sounds as good as it gets. Could be better with the new B&W 804 D2 speakers , Here we go
What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
Is it just me or are the high volume of low-ball offers surprising anyone else?
Example: I list an item at 60% off what a current, desirable component sold for new, and I get an offer for half (or less) of what I am asking! I've have been buying and selling high end audio & video gear for over 40 years and I know the value of gear, but I have never experienced such an destructive trend. I expect it from Craigslst or at a garage sale, but not from Audiogon.
I understand an occasional low offer, and it's usually accompanied with an explanation or apology for the balz it takes to make such an offer, but I am getting absolutely offensive offers for more than 75% of what I list.
Are there any other sellers that would like to commiserate with me? Am I missing something? Is it just me?
