Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer


So, what's with the Chicago used gear dealer who constantly advertises tons of used Wilson, (the same models for over a year or more) yet anyone who calls him to buy a pair get's totally discouraged by him on Wilson?

Is this just the old bait and switch with him having none of them in stock? Right now he must have 12 ads of the 20 on Audiogon- yet when called about actually buying a pair he doesn't even attempt to subtly switch you to something else. He makes you feel like an idiot for considering buying Wilson and will "only sell you a pair of you insis"t and then tells you "but I know I"ll only be buying them back from you".

Hi decathlon 1991, How can you state: "which I'm sure are his friends" ?

You are sure?  Really?  I think you are being unfair and inflammatory.

I bought my Sasha 1's from Albert almost 4 years ago. I really liked him a bunch - very professional and knowledgeable. I was able to audition several speakers and he was very gracious in moving gear around. I left with the Sashas he helped pack into their crates for a nice price.

He does have a boatload of gear in his shop which is many rooms deep. He also stated he just keeps his ads running non-stop and they may not always be fully updated. He expects you to interact with him and go from there.

@decathlon1991,

 

His friends?  I don’t know Albert, just as I do not know you. I have purchased from him multiple times and NEVER experienced any problems at all.  Your blanket statement means nothing, and just who are you to insinuate that everyone defending him are all his friends?  Regarding your statement, I would rather talk to Albert than you, any day of the week.

It’s amazing some of you take things literally. Apparently some can’t read what the whole message stands for, lol. The truth hurts and based on some of the responses to what I said, it definitely struck a nerve. You’re right, you don’t know me and truly your opinion don’t matter one bit. It is beneath me to be honest. Only trash looks for anything negative to make themselves feel better. If you spent your time speaking with him and built a bond, good for you, lol. That’s called developing a relationship good or bad. It’s called Motor Learning Behavior skills, lol. (Friend, Aquantis, etc). You sure as hell are defending this individual based on my and others comments instead of talking about you honest experiences, good or bad. The individual who started the post was giving his honest opinion. You don’t have to like it but it is his reality. It’s always the same individuals with the same negative nonsense. My message was meant for the individuals who had issues not for a troll to pick a comment from the whole point of the message. We see enough Karen’s on Youtube, we don’t need them on this site. Go listen to some music, and maybe you will feel better.
