Incredible deal on incredible amp

Ive had my BAT REXII power amp for sale for over a month on Agon with only a small amount of interest.  Ive lowered the price a couple of times.  I am having a hard time understanding the lack of interest, especially at the current price.  The only reason i am selling is I bought active speakers (ATC SCM50A) so no longer need a stand alone amp.  Otherwise,  it would have been my amp for life.  Any suggestions to make this more attractive for a sale?  I guess there is a price for everything and eventually if low enough someone would be interested.  I just think the price is so low now that i don't believe there is any interest at any price.

Audioman58 is spot on with his timing.  I'm a 78 year old audiophile and have been active in the used market for over 40 years.  His timing spells it out.  

In addition, If you look at the trading activity across a range of gear using Audiogon's BlueBook, you will see that used trading dropped by about 2/3rd's since 2008 and has barely made progress since.  A lot of people have just found they don't have the discretionary income or savings that they use to have .... and the higher prices of gear in recent years doesn't help.

Personally, I wouldn't sell it to TMR.  I have bought used equipment from them in the past and they have been great.  If you try to have them buy it, they will lowball you and probably offer maybe 3-4K  for it.  Nothing wrong with that as they have to make a profit and all, but if you wait until October/November time frame, you will unload it within a couple of days at a much higher price.

Or do what I said early on. I have done it and I have sold a ton of gear over the past 15 years.
