Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?


I've had a Rogue Sphinx 3 listed for a month at what sure looks to be a great price- $899. A few half hearted inquiries who then go dark. The unit is $1600 new. I haven't even gotten any low ball offers- which usually happens with any item I post, its part of the process. Meanwhile I've sold a Pass 250.8, An ARC REF150SE, and two other expensive amps with little trouble. 

 

Is the low end of the market suffering? Is Rogue falling out of favor ? My listing is at least $100 lower than a similar one and I think they're both priced fairly. I'll keep it rather than list for any lower. 

 

Any idea of what's going on ? 

 

thanks

@yogiboy Thank you! I really did ask a legit question and got a lot of good answers, with some people indicating they were seeing the same thing with products they had listed and provided constructive comments and advice. As always there are the usual naysayers, keyboard warriors etc. Tough room, which is why I don't post much. 

 

In any event it sold last night so despite a few posters continuing to attack and criticize my intents, the price, whatever else they opt to zero in on, I'll thank those who offered good input and hope to avoid those that piled on in the future. Cheers. 

I have a friend that it just took 7months to sell a pretty popular LTA amplifier. Price was set ‘normal’, too. Used sales do also slow down in the winter. Spring and Fall are quicker selling times, in general. 

Your original question: "Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?"

I think less than a month is a decent time line for a sale, especially with all the wacky weather we have had recently. Your ad on AudiogoN & AudioMart had only one photo and they where different. One had a photo of what looks like a additional component that is not part of the package. Yours was also the lowest price of any and that sometimes puts doubts in buyer's  minds. Your offering a factory upgraded version over Version3, new from the factory might also factor in a buyer's decision making.

Comparing the sale of Pass & ARC gear to the Rogue, to me, is like apples & oranges. 

So, the answer to your original, title question is no.
