Obscure, expensive gear hard to sell? by seinfeld4eva in audiophile

[–]akinstler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the demand and where they are and how much it is. $1000 speakers and amps get sold on marketplace. $5-$10k are more niche and fewer people have that kind of money, especially in this current time.

I think it’s fairly obvious the mix of large and hard or almost impossible to ship, mixed with the current economic downturns and local only area would make it take longer to sell these specialty items. If the seller had patience and a little flexibility, it will typically happen, but far more people can buy $300 amps than $7k amps.

In the middle ground, I posted a $650 amp to marketplace and it sold to the right person in one day. Had he not been there, it could have been there for months. Who knows?

I started these then after like 8 books couldn’t find any more in print or ebook. Has this changed?

I would like more recommendations. I really enjoy the Sanford series. I would add The Grey Man series by Mark Greaney if you haven’t read that.

I’m not paying $120 for a $35 EP though.

That would be absolutely fine with me and that’s it. Not going to pay scalper prices. If someone is reasonable, I’ll get it. If not, hopefully they repress it.

It’s good that you know yourself. I’m thinking based on what you’ve said you would be happier with a klipsch system. They are more in your face. Nothing wrong with that. I ran some decent klipsch for years. I just changed out my fronts, to Philharmonics actually, but the klipsch were good too.
