Actually, my concerns have more to do with careless owners with recent gear than carefull owners with older equipment.
I dont mind if an amp has a lot of mileage on it. I'll take this any day over a newer unit that has been moved around and nicked to death.
I once purchased a "very slightly used" 9/10 pair of AKG headphones. Arrived in a shape suggesting they had been abused, permanent rubbing marks and all. This product had gone to hell and back and was a 6/10 at best.
Unfortunately, Audiogon never let me post negative feedback...
