Maybe so, maybe not, just dont be so stupid as to put it in an add that you are looking to get all your money back!!! Most of the time I see this type of wording the asking price is on the high side.
Stating that one only wants to get what they themselves paid for it isn't immoral, but it's gauche. Sort of like telling your girlfriend she's almost as good in the sack as your ex-wife.

But all of these amps would be listed at 85% of the retail price, precisely because the sellers really wanted to recoup the purchase price to put toward the next amp. But more importantly, buyers seemed prepared to pay those prices since the amps were only a couple of weeks old. It seemed to me that everybody knew from the outset that any given amp was bound to change hands seven or eight times within the first three months of its existence, so each person really only pays a rental fee.The lesson here is that, if you can possibly do so, try selling gear on Head-Fi, because buyers seem prepared to pay something close to retail for used items.Chad
