It is a free market and you are free not to buy it. You are also free to complain and cackle like old hens about the free market.
Ridiculous sale
Somebody is selling a Decware that sells at 2600 $ direct from the manufacturer for 4500 $ citing tha t you can pay that if you want to wait a year. This is a disgrace in Audiogon. Also TMR sales require you to go to their website and look for the product for information. Unfortunately the hobbiest mentality that predominated Audiogon Is being replaced by these dry, unfear actions and styles. What a shame.

Do you think this person pulled a ’ticket-scalper’ move, and bought it jut to flip it at a higher price with a built-in impateience ’tax’, or did that person wait a year to get it then decideded they did not like it?
Seems like a highly relevant question to me. Are they charging for shipping? Well, you could pick it up for free.... "it’s a thousand miles away from you", you say? seems like $50 in shipping is a sweet deal.... (just making up an example here, i have not looked at the actual ad)
Time and location figure into the value/price of stuff. Don’t want it? Don’t buy it- we’re talking luxury goods here, not literal necessities.

The op must have purchased a new car that was in demand. The 2000 Honda S2000 was asking $10k over msrp and sold every one. The Enzo, I had a friend that was getting offers $300k over what he paid for his because only a certain number of cars were made and he happened to be 1 that got 1. |
+1 @rbstehno Same thing with any of the premium Mustangs (Shelby Cobra Supersnake) in the last few years. Premiums in the 10s of 1000s added to MSRP. Supply and demand; you may not like it, but there it is. |
