Ref75se

I have been shopping for a ref75se or ref150se for awhile and have noticed either they get sold pretty quickly, or are on the market for awhile.

I have been in snooze you lose situations, but am hesitant to pull the trigger on one because of it being unsold for quite some time.

Just would like to know from the experience here on the forum what you all think.

Decide on the model you want, the condition you require, and the price you're willing to pay. When you find one that meets your critieria, place an immediate offer. What could be easier?

Guess I should rephrase my question.

 I am curious as to why some units are for sale for a long time, like months.

 I know there are variables like local pickup no shipping,etc.

you basically answered your own questions

price, local sale only, no packing materials, availability of the seller (amazing how many posters of ads are very slow to answer inquiries)... not to mention usual issues of condition/history of unit and so on

no reason to be hesitant to buy if the seller is an established one with a good track record based on buyer feedback

Perhaps they were asking a ridiculous price for the amps  and thus, sat forever.

I would personally start a back and forth with the seller and get a feel for him and the AR unit you are seeking, emails are fine but a phone conversation is better. You can tell a lot about someone and their for sale item by these conversations, could become very clear why it has been sitting for a while. Also it is a #s game with limited supply and limited buyers for that item and could be as simple as everyone that wanted one, except you, has bought theirs and look at it as a plus that there is one left for you. Good luck and enjoy the music
