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".

Dealer name would be helpful, otherwise we can't really help.

I have had the same issue and I know who/ what you are referring to.  Tried to buy a few items over the years and was discouraged each time and switched to something else which I did not buy. 

One last attempt this past fall for a Pass amp and of course a deal never materialized.

The defense to the bait and switch is always a killer sob story.

Same here tried buying X and was told he had Y at a better price and it was demo unit. Just felt scummy. Told him I am in Chicago and could come by and he discouraged that claiming COVID, may have been legit?
