Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??


Seems that a VERY HIGH percentage of the gear posted for sale has been lightly used with next to zero hours in a smoke free, pet free, cafeine free, oxygen free, gamma ray free home with 10 air purifiers working all at once, and operated only on Sundays between 6 and 7 am at low volume.

Notice how tubes ALWAYS have low hours on them? Man are we lucky in this hobby! Everything stays new!

It cracks me up everytime to read the postings, but it is not because it is funny.

And of course everything for sale is the best the seller has ever heard. One can only assume they prefer to keep the 2nd best they've ever heard. Dr Phil where are you....

These mega-buck speakers were played lightly, ONLY with the BEST ancillary equipment, what a laugh.

They have a memory for the next buyer, BEWARE.

I realize there's a lot of skepticism about the "low hour" claim by many sellers. Much of it deserved.

However, IME there are many audiophiles who are constantly turning over equipment in search of the holy grail.

If you can identify these folks, there's a high probability what you are buying is truly very lightly used.

The key is to look at a buyer's/seller's feedback and have a real time conversation with the other party before committing to ANYTHING. I have purchased both excellent, accurately represented equipment here and also mediocre that barely scraped past honest description. When selling the key is to underrate just a bit so as to exceed expectations so that buyer has that AHH experience and provides A+++ feedback.
