I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?

I’d buy used because if the speakers are not to yours or your room’s liking you’ve dropped an additional $20k and you’ll get $30k for them. Just my thoughts.

Buy used from a reputable seller with a guaranteed return. Pocket the $20k and enjoy!

I’ve traveled this exact road.  I’m in the Northwest, listened

to a pair in Florida and purchased my speakers from a 

dealer in Norway. (They took in on trade). No fear. Why?

Most audiophiles, if not all, take really good care of their 

gear. Gear depreciates. I like saving money. But most importantly 

when I’m listening to music i’m not thinking of who owned

my stuff before me. Im enjoying the  music or the ride that 

high end quality can provide. Do your due diligence and have

no fear.

For a $20K difference you could travel pretty much anywhere on the planet, audition the speakers, listen to whether they’re working properly, look for cosmetic damage, and oversee them being packed for shipment if they’re acceptable.

Don't worry folks. No 50K speakers will be harmed (or purchased!) due to the results of this thread.
