Items for sale without remotes.


Believe what you like and Buyer beware.   Most that live in cities of any size have pawn shops.  AudiogoN seems to have very few items for sale without remotes, but a few.  ebay and pawn shops have many items being sold without remotes.  If you choose to believe that audiophiles are forgetful slobs that loose remotes routienly, then good for you.  However I have never bought a used piece of high end audio gear without remotes and have never sold one that way either.   And it you believe that nicer high end items are never stolen, then I have an island in NYC I would like to sell you, and a used Porsche Speedster that a little old lady only drove to church on Sundays.

To replace a remote is to be remotivated.
To repair the castle moat is to remoat. 
To find bovines in far off places is to hear remote cowbells. 
I have an affliction. 
 
Wow, so the assumption is that items sold without remotes must be stolen then. I don’t use the individual remotes much and I’m not the most organized in keeping up with remotes that I may not have used in years,if ever. Trying to figure out where I put one after years have gone by without tearing apart the house dosnt make much sense. I suppose I’d have to try to buy a new one from the manufacturer if still avaible so people don’t think It’s stolen if I ever want to sell. Sounds like I might be lone audiophile who dosnt keep up with remotes based on what I see posted here. Lol
OP makes a good point.  I havnt used a stock remote in 15 years or so but I have every one and have always included them when my gear moves to the next person. 
I had two dogs a few years back and one of them munched on three remotes and an IPad.  The remotes were all in different places that were supposed to be safe from nosey puppies. I can easily see someone selling something without a remote.
