Who thinks they got the best deal on Audiogon?

Actually, I have been satisfied with all transactions here on Agon, both as a buyer and as a seller, although there was one unpleasant experience with a dealer (no names!) who is considered to be a jerk by many members here.

I try to both buy and sell at a fair price, never trying to "skin" anyone, and in return, I don't expect to get "skinned" when buying.

I consider this a community of like-minded audiophile "parterres", much different than a general and impersonal marketplace.

I got a great deal on a long (32') pair of NBS Statement XLR cables and sent them off to be shortened and re-terminated with the remainder used to get several smaller pairs as well to wire my entire system. It would have cost a fortune to get all these cables separately.

And way to go Elizabeth on the PH2. I owned one of these for 8+ years and loved it. This is by far the most neutral ARC product and quite a sleeper in the product line. Check out the SilverAudio SilverBreeze balanced cable. This too was a huge step up from the ARC Litz balanced tonearm cable.

I think I got the best deal. I've had my current CD player for over three years now and couldn't be happier. I think that speaks volumes for value. $$$ ;) Top that!

I have gotten some killer deals, but I wouldn't want to embarass anyone by crowing about them. On the other hand, I have sold some stuff far less than full value, just because I wanted to sell quick and wasn't that concerned about price.
Most of the time I've bought and sold at what seems to be a fair price.
Overall, the fact that I have been able to build a quality system at far less than retail from purchases on audiogon is very satisfying.
