Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers

Is anyone else running into this? I've been trying to buy a used pair of Wilson from a couple of dealers in the NY area and from one in the Chicago area- each has a pair I've been interested in yet all are super slow to respond to emails, quote a final number, give a clear number on a trade I have etc. Each have their own wrinkle, high shipping charges, high pick up charges, avoiding doing a set up etc. Super frustrating - I've literally bought a car faster than trying to buy a pair of used speakers. I've thrown in the towel after a month of endless emails and conversations. Weird. I used to run a retail audio chain. We chased every deal, quickly determined if we could do it and made it work- or nicely declined the deal. Is business so good that there's no interest in selling 13k speakers that they're holding in inventory?

Congratulations on finding your speakers! Welcome to the Wilson family.

Larry Marcus was instrumental in the development of Wilson's Trade-In and Certified Authentic programs. His experiences taking trades and treating customers fairly while doing so gave us insights into the best ways to serve Wilson owners and potential owners. 

Since Sabrinas are officially discontinued, technically your speakers are Certified Authentic Factory Tested. If installed they carry the full 5 year warranty, If not, they carry a one year warranty. IMO, the warranty is not why you want them installed. Matt Chapman is. Matt has set up more Wilsons than just about anyone outside the factory. It doesn't get any better.

Enjoy your Sabrinas!

I have question warrany. I consider pair use watt puppy 8 for boat dock system. We have gather and I need clean sound. I install in waterproof box that I keep thing like rod and reel in when not use. Is this good warranty is buy through dealer? Speaker be outside but never wet. Would be disgrace get Wilson wet that disgrace do that. I power with Escalade alpine mono amp system.

Miracle is a noun. He used it as a noun but (intentionally erroneously) failed to type "it's a miracle".
