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

I'm not a tube guy but I do own the Rogue Metis tube preamp among other things. Nice thing about It is it mutes its circuit until the tubes (6SN7s) stabilizes. It puts out a massive soundstage, a very transparent device, pushes all the right buttons, and compares favorably to my Conrad Johnson.  My only gripe is that there is a bit more bass than I like, but could be circumvented by tube rolling.

Recently I put it up for sale and received several offers and one offer stood out. A guy from Seattle who owns a Winery offered several bottles of his finest wine in trade for the Metis. I declined only because I don't drink. Other offers were for trades as well. My conclusion is that people are harder up for cash which is not surprising given the current economic climate and it's not getting any better.

I plan to round out my small collection of amps with the purchase of the rogue sphinx v3 or maybe a v4 version if/when available. I already own a class A, and a class AB amp, so it would be nice to own a class D with tubes. Plus I think the sphinx looks  bitchin in black! I read HR's review of it, and I have great respect for the man. I've bought several components based on his reviews which include the Hana el and the wharfedale 225's. He's spot on with his reviews and is a humble and honest man. I've even spoke with him on messenger.....

@phd "You will own nothing and be happy" that is their greater plan for all of us. 

audioguiy85, yes that might happen but in the event it does you will see me running down the road with a speaker under each arm, balancing an amp and preamp yelling:: "But they're not getting this!" LOL

The thing about selling gear, and this is any gear, it doesn’t sell until it sells. I’ve had stuff sit there weeks or longer and then boom sold,  it just takes one buyer. Patience is a virtue when trying to sell gear in a crowded marketplace.
