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?

I bought and received a pair of Wilson Sabrina from Larry Marcus at Paragon and hooked them up yesterday. Fantastic ! The right combo of musical and detailed with tons of new micro detail in music I've listened to for years - great soundstage and imaging - everything I'd read about. I've sold  all the trade equip privately with exception of the Klipsch Cornwall 4 and have someone interested in them and will probably sell them too. 

 

Thanks Larry for a great experience, thanks Wilson for some great speakers.

I think for the price of Wilson’s, finding a certified Wilson dealer would be the best bet for used gear.  Especially for parts, service, etc.

I just looked at Paragon's web site. Looks like a top notch retailer
