Guys, Come on................, why are you all being so cheap!, these are both NIB - never used cartridges that you aren't going to find in better condition unless you're willing to pay full prices on. I'm willing to go as low as $275 on the 10x5, and $570 on the 20x2H. At which point I'll just sit on both as it shows me that many of you are simply the ones accustomed to $100 cartridges or think someone is supposed to give things away for nickels on the dollar. Either you're willing to invest in decent cartridges or you aren't?, but I'm not giving them away. Regards, Oz
Actually, no-one's buying anything right now. Maybe it's time for summer vacations in a bad economy, so no funds for audio.I'm selling a Pass X250.5 amps on Audiogon (and here) right now, and although they usually sell in a week if listed for less than $4200, mine and another are just sitting there. The other one's on their second month of listing.
Why!, because I'm speaking the truth. All to often people are looking for discounts on items they've had the chance to audition and rather purchase it online at a faction of its original cost - which is find and dandy if you don't take into account that the place in which you heard it has to close their doors due to lack of support/business. I'm one of those whom if it's something I wish to own?, then I'll pursue it and take into account what someone has actually paid for said item - if I then consider their asking price to be fair!, then I'll simply honor their price as is. To my mindset to many attempt to lowball their ways through gear in hopes that someone is stressed - well I for one am not. That's too much like going into a dollar store with the intent on purchasing something half off - either one is willing to honor ones asking price or stick to cheap stuff - it's that simple. Much like your table - I bet you would've asked the company that refinished it on your behalf to except less for the quality of work they did too it!, otherwise it wouldn't look as nice as it does. Something's in life cost - so to me BS!, is just that. My words are my own and do express what I view as such. Cheers - Dude, Oz
You go get em...Sounds like you have been getting some low ball offers and are not happy about it. Certainly frustrating, but you got to just deal with it when you sell stuff. Times are certainly tight. Something to consider, maybe try and just counter rather than get upset about it. It's not worth it to let it bother you.
You can ask any price you want but the reality is you will only get what the market will bear. Sometimes you get lucky and get full asking price, sometimes you just have to take a little less. It's the nature of doing business. No need to get bent out of shape about it, you can always say no. Just my opinion,nothing more. Good luck with your sales.
Is the10x5 still available ? I'm willing to spend up to $272.50 although $250 sounds much better to my wooden ears:) Do I recall correctly that you're from MI? Anyway I will send you a pM
OK, I'm not the one trying to ruin your marital happiness but if in another 5 minutes you and your better one will feel differently let me know. Best, W
