For sale is my Bel Canto e.One S300 ICEpower amp.  It's a small, efficient, cool-running, powerful, and very nice sounding amp.  This was my first ICEpower amp, and after seeing just how nice they are I've since bought some of the 600wpc ICE amps ... so this one is for sale. 

It looks and operates as new in every way.  It'll ship double boxed in it's original boxes, and if you buy at my asking price I'll even include free a nice power cord that uses Schurter/Hubbell plugs and cryo'd Belden 19364.

Asking price - $800/shipped to the Continental US

It's rated at 150x2 8ohms, 300x2 4 ohms.

$700 shipped?  Thanks for the lowball, but I'm not desperate

Why are you posting somebody's private offer publicly?

Not exactly a way to show you are a person that somebody would want to deal with...

Hmm, that's quite a reach ... so people who don't appreciate lowball offers can't be trusted?  But I suppose people who stick their nose in others sales threads just to crap on it can be trusted? 

Most Audiogon listings for the amp are $850 + shipping, I'm asking $800 shipped ... and offering to throw in a $50-$60 power cord free.  Yet still I get lowball offers.

My offer was truly not meant as a lowball, just a starting point for negotiations, and I am sorry that you interpreted it as such.

I thought a firm offer of $700 (12.5% under asking price) would at least merit a "no thanks I'm holding at my asking price" or "I can go to $XXX".

I realize everyone has a different definition of a "low ball" and having sold a lot of equipment I understand what a waste of time it is to respond to potential buyers that will not pan out. But my rule of thumb is to always respond to any offer.

I inferred two things from your ad in making my offer.

1. The price is an "asking price" which would indicate some flexibility.
2. The power cord will NOT be included if the sale price is below the asking price.

Maybe this explains why we are interpreting my offer somewhat differently.

Alright then, starting over 

I price my stuff the way I do to avoid lowball offers.  Whenever I sell something, I take a look at the going rate and price things on the bottom end of that ... and I like to throw in a bonuses to sweeten the deal.  That's exactly what I did here.

When somebody offers something at a good fair price, you should recognize that instead of immediately trying to get it for even cheaper.  I'd bet there hasn't ever been a s300 sold for $700 shipped, probably only a handful sold at the price I'm asking.

I'll PM you what I could accept without the power cord ...
