Why I sell

We all sell and buy for a variety of reasons. I thought I would post a
Letterman top ten reasons to sell. Not in any order.

I need the money for another project.

I'm going thru a divorce

We're having a new baby, I need more space.

Second system did not happen

The IRS is after me

My wife doesn't like it, says it has to go ( are you a wimp? )

I need the money cause I crashed my car

My mother died and I need to pay for a funeral

I need the money to send my kid to college

I am going to down size my system

Sell because you want to and buy because you want it.
That is why there are so many products, we all have different tastes.

I've often wondered how it would read if people were completely forthright....

-It doesn't actualy sound that good.

-Stereophile recomended it, but in this issue they recomend something else.

-I spend compulsively and forgot to pay my rent.

Seriously though, I agree with Entrope 100%.

hi mr man:

i admire your candor. i doubt it would be easy to sell a component if you told a buyer it did not sound good.

in fact, i bet most people sell because they do not like the sound of the component. it is somewhat obvious.

why sell a component, if you like it a l;ot ?

I've personally only sold gear when:

a. I needed money
b. didn't like the sound of it
c. liked the sound, but broke down too often

Luckily I was never asked why I wanted to sell, neiter do I ask this question, should I buy. I would neither expect to give or get a straight answer. I suppose that is human nature, at least if you're a bit streetwise.
