Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...

I've sold about a dozen classic tube gear items on Audiogon at my asking prices.  Classic tube gear keeps escalating in price like my sales of a McIntosh MX110, Fisher 200, MacIntosh MC30s, Fisher 400/500 receivers, etc.  They are now in greater demand than when I sold them over 15 years ago.  I've purchased items for about 50% of retail price as well.  I've had really fine experiences with Audiogon but couldn't buy speakers or cartridges for the same reasons stated previously (won't ship and condition issues, respectively). 

I did just purchase speaker cables at a fire sale price because they are from a highly respected but unknown manufacturer and he was selling long runs (20' and 25') of 2 pairs and a single run of 25' and I only needed a 25' pair.  Tough to sell unknown brands.

I think we all need a "price adjuster" who can inform us ( tell us ) what to sell our gear for. Much easier then to let the market decide.

I bet that felt good to tell us all about your " great equipment "

How can a manufacturer be highly respected and unknown at the same time?

He does zero marketing and builds every cable by hand. GroverHuffman.com SOTA cabling for mid-fi prices.  The materials cost is reasonable, it's all in the design and two hours labor per cable. He has sold worldwide and includes some highly respected listeners including Warner Bros. chief music producer. He is backordered from two to six weeks. Money back guarantee as well. I'm his beta tester but have to pay for the cables (why wouldn't I, the time consuming manufacturing would be unfair and I get the newest designs first).
