Why a dearth of some brands on the used market?
Hi All -
I’ve been looking for some of the higher end Cardas power cables on the used market for the past few months. I’ve been pretty surprised how rarely I see them come up for sale. On the other hand, I’ve seen some brands being sold at a much higher frequency. I’ve also noticed that the less expensive Purist stuff seems to also almost never come up…
I realize the above is a broad blanket statement, so I’ll repose it this way. What are you all looking for, seemingly in vain (or so it seems from the wait time!), for a used item to come up in your desired price range?

@hilde45 - I'm yet to hear these speakers, but from my short time in this hobby they are spoken of reverentially. I'd love to hear speakers Devore some day. @rodman99999 - Makes sense. I'm in the same camp that once I find something that I'm happy with, I don't see myself changing things out. It did take some tweaking from my original purchases to get things "right" though. |
I have budgetary numbers I am comfortable with, typically based on what I may have paid for a product in the past that I want another of. When I see prices beyond what I deem reasonable, I pass, unless I am feely spunky that day and "lowball" someone. As for many well-known cable brands being in abundance on the used market; are they marketed more than others and simply outnumber competitors and/or are they not satisfying enough to the owners who purchased them (based on the following or curiosity)? I sold some less expensive Purist cables very quickly as you pointed out and was happy to do so since they did not light my fire in any way. YMMV I have never dabbled with Cardas, but you are right, they do not seem to be flooding the market. Maybe that's a sign they are keepers more often than not? |
