Lest we conclude that only buyers make dumb remarks, here are a few of my fave statements made by sellers:
"It has a few scratches and dings but you can't see them." (Huh?)
"I sent it back to the factory for an upgrade." Which upgrade? "Uh, I'm not sure. Some smoke came out of it one day and it stopped working so I sent it in." (Uh, dude, that's a repair, not an upgrade.)
"If you don't know exactly what this amp is going to sound like with your system, you shouldn't be buying it."
"I won't sell you this preamp unless you promise to buy better interconnects than the ones you have now." (Cross my heart and hope to die, sir.)
"I doubt that your ears are good enough to appreciate this amp." (Well, excuse my humble dust. I'll run right out for a new Beltone.)
"Wait, let me get a pencil. OK. Now, itemize all your gear for me in detail and give me the dimensions of your room." ('Scuse me, is this an equipment sale or an adoption hearing?)
Truth is stranger than fiction.
