Why I am Selling


To all of those nice people good enough to e-mail me and ask why I am selling:

It's not so much the noxious clouds of smoke or the neutron-glow, although in combination the two seem to have killed our house plants; it may a little more be the gamma rays. The neighbor claims the ray killed his dog, but I don't believe it. After it warms up, the zapping and crackling sounds can barely be heard, and the ozone smell subsides after a few days -- the fact that the street lights no longer dim is, I am sure, pure coincidence, as are the thwump!-ing sounds coming from the loudspeakers. Much like the crackle and pop of vinyl, you can hear the pure music right through these little noises. No, I am selling it because I found something only slightly better -- and, given that I had to pay 200 times as much to get it, I suggest you buy mine right now! (Please allow a week after the auction closes for the unit to return to room temperature).

Myran, this is lovely! It's destined to become a classic piece of Audiogon literature... but given that your unit is now 3 days old and the seal has been broken on the original packaging, don't you think that your asking price of 88% off of retail is a bit excessive? Can you cover the shipping charges to Siberia?
You know the reason why I'm selling...it's because the bastard is broken and there's no one in the audiophile community that could possibly fix it for less than it originally retailed for. I would have laid it off on some naive, unsuspecting Audiogon member like yourself, but since you asked why I was selling it, and me being the honest guy that I am, I couldn't lie to you. If you hadn't been so mistrusting to ask, I wouldn't have had to tell you the truth. So there, now you have it!!! Happy..
Mike I really didn't need to know why you're selling,
but please explain to me why am I buying?
I really thought that you were gonna pay me to take this thing off your hands - overnight air shipping included, of course :)
Because I have way too much time on my hands and if I could just bring a little sunshine into someones life it would make it all seem worthwhile
