BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying?

I think it's simply basic economics, supply and demand where the demand isn't there at the moment and the main thing that drives demand in most markets is either a shortage of supply or a reduction in prices. In other words there isn't enough of a product people actually want , supply, or there is to much so you have to reduce the price to increase demand. 

There are so many things besides price that turn off potential buyers or cause them to bid lower as a hedge. A very good seller with a very smart listing will get more money from the same listing than a seller who is putting out signals that erode trust. 

For example when car sales are slow the auto industry offers rebates, zero interest financing, free maintence for 3 years etc.. I am affraid in used audio equipment about the only thing you can do is keep dropping prices or hold on until a shift in the market, which might not ever happen. Maybe when it gets closer to the holidays things will pick up but I don't know of any marketing strategy for used amplifiers and dacs other than low prices. 

In my case I wanted a new integrated amp, I just bought one less than 1 year old for about 60% of it's cost new. To me that was good deal for the seller ?
