Selling?

Could have been a way to case your home for a future burglary. These days anything is possible! 

Just for giggles, now that you know what some informed people might pay, would you accept $4800 for the amp?

I regularly keep an eye on prices. I have been a home dealer for many high end products over the years. Quad. Krell, B&W .VPI And a lot of others. I just thought he was low balling me and so did my other experienced friends. I can"t remember getting an unsilisted offer and I go back to 1962. He couldn't fool me but I am experienced. He wanted to come down from Vermont before we even discussed price. The ordinary process is to bargain a little before the sale. I just bought an amp; I offered him $ 200 [10%] lessunselistedas asking and he took it and we were both happy.

I have been out of the hobby for a few years due to health issues. I didn't really want to sell it but recently bought a Gamut amp and since I am using Gamut speakers I didn't think I needed both. I also have 3 pairs of mono amps from my dealer days and a lot of other things. My other advice is to make sure you are getting the best out of what you are using now. Often a minor tweak is all you need. Read one of the set up books and experiment with placement. I once sold a pair of 801s and the buyer called in desperation that they didn't sound the same. I took the 30 miles to where he lived and he had one on a solid wall and the other on a glass wall. I told him to swap them and of course the sound switched sides. But then I am an honest dealer; I have known some that were not. Most are just ignorant, have been selling refrighters or something. I went in to show a friend an amp I didn't carry and they didn't have it. I went back and there it was on the shelf.

I can't spell

Grannyring,

Thanks for the ridiculous comment. It's nice to know that you are here to, "...help others with our collective experience and wisdom," whether they ask for it or not. Re-read stanwal's post and learn something.
