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

Hey fleschler, didn't mean to step on any toes. I have been through tons of cable designs as well, and for me, I have found that silver can help in some situations, but it mostly becomes bright and artificial. Copper with rhodium plated terminations will give the same improvement in opennes but will sound natural and not artificial like silver. I have found, in some cases, that silver fuses can help with providing faster voltage to circuits in equipment that are warm. I have seen silver cables work in some systems, but then you are now working around the silver element and having to compensate for it.

At one point about 18 years ago, Grover chose silver which was a mistake except with his equipment at the time.  About 13 years ago, I purchased EAR gear and he decided copper was the thing and designed very good cables since then (the EAR gear really liked his cables post copper).  He added silver as we tried the cables on EAR, custom tube gear and other customers gear.  As I said, there is a difference between adding a 26 versus a 28 gauge silver wire, (with equipment which can resolve the differences).  His new Pharoah line adds a few silver wires in the positive which results in a more open, spacious yet tonally rich sound.  He has many design features which are noted on his site but not the separate positive and negative teflon tube he uses now to reduce the impedance.  No brittle or brightness from his cables using a soupcon of silver (unlike 18 years ago which were all silver).   

Most of my audio friends use Synergistic Research Blue fuses (after using the Blacks) for a big increase in SQ yet we use tube gear.

From different posters & my response""Also, who is to say something is "overpriced"
By definition the market. If you're having trouble selling it the market has authoritatively spoken.   If you don't like it you're not entitled to say it's not somehow overpriced.

"If you got good schitt they will sell."
Yes, it will, usually (modified by locality & sane pricing).  The market again.

" refused several OK offers on the other 2 but don't mind keeping them."
This is the Mother of all dysfunctional rationalizations frequently expressed in the form of, "I don't really need to sell them"
This is just an indisputable, incontrovertible lie.  To oneself, others & the world.  If you went to the trouble of advertising it (let alone paying money on AG or elsewhere to do it) then on some level you NEED to sell it/have it out of your life.  The rationalized permutations of pride & various control issues can be very emotional indeed, but always are the result of some flavour of not being able to own your (unconscious) stuff. Money is only 3 things.  Time, effort & energy.  Wasting all 3 to get an arbitrary number merely reinforces the above points.  By a lot.

I don’t consider 5 minutes and $10-$20 a major commitment. When I change gear in main system, I need to sell gear it replaced. When looking to make change out of curiosity in secondary system, then if I can’t sell it doesn’t matter. A few times I waited a year and then it sold   Even when it didn’t sell I got my $10 worth talking to other members 

"Patience is a Virtue".
 Especially when it comes to Ebay. I sell tons of gear there. I buy tons of gear there as well. Man-o-man I wish I had known about this swap-meet! 
I believe I talked to "Lance" at the show a couple weeks back.
 May I come to a meeting to see what you guys are all about before plunking down my $70? Where do you hold your meetings? Are there snacks? Hee hee hee.
Lance seemed to lose interest in talking when he heard I was developing a "Line Source" type of system for market. I was wondering about that....
    By the way. Those "Guy's downstairs", that had the tables with all the vintage gear, that fix gear in Baltimore? Their OK, At any one time they have 25 to 40 pieces of gear from my collection. But again, "Patience is DEFINITELY, a Virtue with them!!!" But they can actually FIX them. Not  just another, "Swap a board" or  else it's, "Your amp is fried!" shop. They are actually apprenticing a few guys to keep vintage gear alive! And you should see their eye's light up when I bring in rare gear! So they are a bit better than just "OK", "IMHO".
     And "YES" I do have an Oppo-203 for sale!
