How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?


Not only that I get weekly emails about sales. Lately titled "Christmas in July".

I’ve done the trade-up a few times, but I’ve got to say, I can’t fathom how they can profit with discounts as huge as those.

Are they selling off used stuff as new?

 Another thing, has anyone dissected a cable to see what's in it?

This reminds me of way back in the early 70's I was a Radio Shack Store Manager. At age 18!

Anyway, we had a popular speaker called the MC-1000. It cost the store $12. We sold alot of them at the price of $50. We would occasionally have a midnight sales event and the speakers then sold for $25, The store still made a 100% profit!

Looks like today the same is still true.

I just spent 20 minutes creating a post to answer questions @Roxy & Buellrider posed and it was deleted before posting.

 I'll try again when I have more time.

 

If you insist cables are less damaging scam...😊

I own Morrow cables and like them very much.  Buying during their 65% off annual event around Christmas is the only number that means anything to me.  So, is their MA7 Interconnect Pair - 144 SSI, XLR, 2 meter worth $750?  For me the answer is yes.  Are they worth $2098?  It's a moot point as I only have to pay $750.

Now there trade up program is another story.  They are offering 80% of the original purchase price against the full retail price of a new item.  When you do the math, you find it's usually cheaper just to buy the new item at 65% off.  Sell the other cables privately.  Same as buying a new car.  You are always better off selling your current vehicle privately and dealing cash on the new one.  

Finally, calling Morrow Cables "junk", as noted above, is just plain silly.  Don't want to own them yourself, then don't buy them.  No need to disparage all the others out there that have bought them and find them a good product.
