Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?


I've had a Rogue Sphinx 3 listed for a month at what sure looks to be a great price- $899. A few half hearted inquiries who then go dark. The unit is $1600 new. I haven't even gotten any low ball offers- which usually happens with any item I post, its part of the process. Meanwhile I've sold a Pass 250.8, An ARC REF150SE, and two other expensive amps with little trouble. 

 

Is the low end of the market suffering? Is Rogue falling out of favor ? My listing is at least $100 lower than a similar one and I think they're both priced fairly. I'll keep it rather than list for any lower. 

 

Any idea of what's going on ? 

 

thanks

@onhwy61 - Thanks for your policing; with 5100 posts you must be a busy guy. It's not an ad, I didn't link to the product nor mention the price and asked the community for their thoughts- and got some good, relevant responses. But, again, with 5100 posts- an unimaginable number for most of us you must be diligently on Agon full time scouring for any possible infractions. The rest of us will carry on knowing you're looking out for us all. 

@jl35 You’re closing in on "onhwy61" in terms of posts- you're posting on average one comment a day- EVERY day for ten years - or the equivalent. He’s posting 1.5 times a day- EVERY day- for ten years- or the equivalent. Amazing volume of comments  from both of you- you're busy bee's on Audiogon. Congrats! ME, I do a few here and there from time to time and it's not my life's passion.

Yes, pls - get to the bottom of this lol. I have so much time on my hands that I both posted an ad for my sphinx, which is also posted on USAM btw, then posted about low interest and asked for input- all really a ruse to generate a contentious forum thread.  Jeez...

@yogiboy Thank you! I really did ask a legit question and got a lot of good answers, with some people indicating they were seeing the same thing with products they had listed and provided constructive comments and advice. As always there are the usual naysayers, keyboard warriors etc. Tough room, which is why I don't post much. 

 

In any event it sold last night so despite a few posters continuing to attack and criticize my intents, the price, whatever else they opt to zero in on, I'll thank those who offered good input and hope to avoid those that piled on in the future. Cheers.
