"You cannot handle the truth"


Should anybody be weary about any equipment (mostly new) that are barely used, no way near the usual break-in period, before putting it on sale?

Like, why would anybody used it for, say, 70 hours or so, then decided to sell?  It's always a red flag to me, as if it's some kind of lemon, some forgotten freight being fall off from a truck, or the equipment sounds woeful....   I would not think any legit dealer would be that casual neither.

Not to upset anybody.... would love to hear some reasonable explanations such that I don't make the wrong assumption...

"70 hours is probably a years worth of listening for most of us"

Would you please elaborate a little more?  70 hours ...
= less than 12 minutes a day, or
= around 1.5 hr per week

1.5 hours a week.  I posted about this on another thread ( https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-a-sad-world-we-now-live-in/post?postid=1752367#1752367 ).

Of course, that is for those of us that work and have lives outside of audio.  I think I may edge a little higher than that, but not much.  And I enjoy this hobby as much as anybody.
Now that is actually sitting down to listen without distractions.  I may have the radio on in my car, or listen to my local classical station (WILL Urbana IL, Tivoli Model 1) when I'm making pizza dough, or even catch a short tune on the elevator at the doctor's office, but I don't count those sessions.  That's just background music.

"And don't forget, you can only sell one!"
You can sell two, if you can find "almost new", "barely used", "not even broken-in" dialysis machine on some enthusiast site.
