Incredible deal on incredible amp

Ive had my BAT REXII power amp for sale for over a month on Agon with only a small amount of interest.  Ive lowered the price a couple of times.  I am having a hard time understanding the lack of interest, especially at the current price.  The only reason i am selling is I bought active speakers (ATC SCM50A) so no longer need a stand alone amp.  Otherwise,  it would have been my amp for life.  Any suggestions to make this more attractive for a sale?  I guess there is a price for everything and eventually if low enough someone would be interested.  I just think the price is so low now that i don't believe there is any interest at any price.

It could also be that there isn't much BAT marketbase.... I searched your amp and could not find much in terms of reviews or discussion on the forums.  I have known about BAT for some time, have looked onto REX preamp in the past before settling on the Cary 05.

Maybe it's just not a popular amp...

In addition, there is a competition - other gread tube and hybrid amps. And.. $6k for a used amp is still quite a big money for most. And for others - they just go and buy new. In New York City they need briefcase for a wallet, they don't care about $14k difference if they want it.
Look at LAMM amps here, they don't sell either, and both the price and the seller often look good.

I have only bought and sold very few items here but I think people who are looking for certain brands/models don’t care as much about the price, of course within limits. In some cases a very low price may even come across as a red flag. If it were me, I would not lower the price. In fact, I would relist at a higher/more realistic price when the market is ready.

Maybe if you write in the ad WHY you are selling it, you can get more buyers interested.

People are afraid to buy things that they don’t know why the seller is selling them (that’s my personal opinion). Especially something so expensive and with that gigantic gap between real retail price and yours.

Try to say you’re in serious financial trouble and need money super fast and you’re dying for selling it, but there’s no other way, instead of saying you found "a better amp" (people want to buy the amp you found instead yours).

Why  not try TMR AUDIO? If they buy it you will not have to pay any seller or paypal fees. I’ve dealt with them and they are very reputable!
