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

You're selling something in a very narrow category. That includes an even smaller group of potential buyers.

Add to that those buyers are not the audio neurotic with money to burn. They will be Best Buy type looking for something "better" but not "high end."

I have something listed and have to face reality-lower the asking price to half or lower of MSRP to attract attention.
