Am I going crazy or?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Now I know I am going crazy! I just had a thought- If perhaps someone thinks this thread is nonsense. Then if they post in this thread, are they participating in the nonsense? Well, just a thought.

Anyway I made my point. Some folks sell to high, some to low. Some I don't think bother ro see what things are selling for before listing. But I sure whish they would read this thread. Yeah some dealers drive me crazy with their adds every week as well!

Oh and I have found if a thread gets to serious agon shuts it down. I once started a thread called " Is high end audio dying? " It got quite serious and was gaining ground on the ever popular thread " preamp deal of the century " In fact it would have passed that thread. But things got to hot and agon made the thread mysteriously dissappear. BTW, many high end audio dealers have gone out of business since that thread in 2003. So my hunch was write.

So now I write these silly little threads so I can stay under the agon radar.

Bottom line is that people who try to sell pieces for ridiculously high prices still own the equipment. Its their own business if they don't want to lower their price. If you want the piece bad enough do what Newbee suggests and send the seller an email... Otherwise this is still free enterprise and people are free to set their own price. Sometimes there are buyers who want something badly enough that they will pay regardless of the price... Actually KT-88 this is a good thread but, just don't take the high priced sellers too personal...

what difference does it make what sellers charge or buyers pay ? if it is not your business why make it your business ?

Mr T,

If we don't know the selling price of our stuff how can we figure out the value of our assets, our net worth? Where else can we get (more) accurate appraisals. Of course its our business! Or perhaps just a curious distraction..........

Ever wonder what the value of the properties in your neighborhood might be? Even if you don't plan to sell soon, or at all? :-)

hi newbee:

if i am in a selling or buying mode, i will seek information in order to facilitate a transaction which is beneficial to me.

if another person requests my input, either as buyer or seller, i will try to be helpful.

if i am not selling my home i generally am not concerned about the selling price of other homes in my area.

if i am seeking legal assistance to contest my property taxes i will let a lawyer determine the appropriate information so he can best represent my interests.

the issue being discussed here is of no concern to me .
i don't understand why there is such an interest in the affairs of others when such matters are usually not relevant to one's own activities. another way of approaching the subject is to consider the adage "i will cross a bridge when i get to it". since i am not buying or selling on audiogon, i have not yet reached the situation where my concern is necessary.
