Items for sale without remotes.


Believe what you like and Buyer beware.   Most that live in cities of any size have pawn shops.  AudiogoN seems to have very few items for sale without remotes, but a few.  ebay and pawn shops have many items being sold without remotes.  If you choose to believe that audiophiles are forgetful slobs that loose remotes routienly, then good for you.  However I have never bought a used piece of high end audio gear without remotes and have never sold one that way either.   And it you believe that nicer high end items are never stolen, then I have an island in NYC I would like to sell you, and a used Porsche Speedster that a little old lady only drove to church on Sundays.

     I tend to steal a lot of hi-end stereo equipment and it really ticks me off when these audio nerds don't leave the remotes conveniently nearby.
    I've also have about a dozen nuclear warheads without their trigger mechanisms.

    What is it with you people!?!  
     Thoughtless or just careless?
     

 
I have a Sony cd player for sale on Craigslist now, with no remote and I am pretty sure I didn't steal it.
Stolen items at a pawn shop?  Who woulda thunk it?  That's the last place I'd take stolen items because... that's where everyone takes their stolen items.
An interesting thread as a "heads up" about missing remotes being taken by some as a personal attack on themselves and thier "remotes" status.   It would seem that doing reasearch on all threads and all replies for a book on the human condition as related to Audiopiles would be less than a challenge.
