The op must have purchased a new car that was in demand. The 2000 Honda S2000 was asking $10k over msrp and sold every one. The Enzo, I had a friend that was getting offers $300k over what he paid for his because only a certain number of cars were made and he happened to be 1 that got 1.
Not sure about this piece of equipment if it’s worth more than retail, but if it is in demand, then let supply and demand dictate the price
Ridiculous sale
Somebody is selling a Decware that sells at 2600 $ direct from the manufacturer for 4500 $ citing tha t you can pay that if you want to wait a year. This is a disgrace in Audiogon. Also TMR sales require you to go to their website and look for the product for information. Unfortunately the hobbiest mentality that predominated Audiogon Is being replaced by these dry, unfear actions and styles. What a shame.

+1 @rbstehno Same thing with any of the premium Mustangs (Shelby Cobra Supersnake) in the last few years. Premiums in the 10s of 1000s added to MSRP. Supply and demand; you may not like it, but there it is. |
Any product is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. In a free market, scarcity always drives up prices. Basic law of supply and demand. We all have free will here to decide if we want to pay a premium or not. If you don't, that's cool. Maybe somebody else will. Or maybe not. And then the seller either drops their price or they're left with the item unsold. I don't see anything "unfair" about that. |
I've long wondered why Decware doesn't increase production capacity. They are reasonably priced so limiting supply to price gouge doesn't seem motive. I can only think he likes small operation to keep family like atmosphere. I've been tempted to purchase, but long wait list deters.
$1900 for jumping wait list, if someone sees value in that pretty desperate, present amp must be pretty bad. Probably better value with another used amp at that price. |
