Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes....
Do people understand that many of these items may be stolen? No time to find the remote in the theft. By no means all, but especially on ebay the number of units without remotes is amazingly high.
I bought 6 used McIntosh pieces in the last 9 months and even though they came with the remotes, I ordered all new ones. I get skived by using used remotes. I have seen people scratching their junk with the remote plus worse, why would I want to touch it?
Maybe a little off topic, but some gear (Cd players?) will lose a lot of their features without the remote. Many players have very stark front panels with only a few buttons on them.
Good points all around. Many sellers presume that a remote is easy to find/replace? Careless on the owners behalf unless the item is described as a thrift or donation.Happy Listening!
