Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts?

I sold my brand new naim 5si integrated about a month ago, by sold, I mean I traded it in. I was looking on website of company I traded it into, and noticed in used section. I inquired about it and was told it was indeed the Amp I had traded. They had to open box up to check it out before resale, despite it being new. Anyhow, they had it listed at a greatly reduced rice. Me, knowing it was my former amp, I scooped it back up...am I a genius? Lol...

i have bought sold then bought back so many things... some things you miss when they are gone, that other thing you had to try was just a fling...

Why did the seller put it up for sale at $800 less what they paid you?

@kenjit I have no clue as to why he had it priced as such, I did not ask. All I asked him was if it was the same amp I had just traded in. His answer was yes. 

@celtic66 Lol!!

Maybe the seller was running a money laundering operation 😏

Have done that at least twice, Clayton M300 monos and TEAD Vibe/Pulse. I liked almost everything each of those products brought to my system but, in the end, each had one niggling attribute that was probably what caused me to sell them in the first place and what was the final straw causing me to eventually move on to something else. In summary, I would have saved time and money had I trusted my gut and stuck with my first decision.
