I'm always amused that sellers bother to give reasons why they're selling their gear. Obviously in the vast majority of cases, they don't like it in their system. But only a very tiny minority will say that. People are (1) moving; (2) downsizing; (3) upgrading; (4) getting a divorce; (5) undergoing surgery.
Look, just assume buyers aren't stupid. We know why you're getting rid of stuff. If you haven't lied about the condition of your gear, do us the courtesy of letting us decide independently of your reasons for selling, which all seem to be designed to reassure us that your stuff isn't bad.
I buy and sell a lot of gear to try different things. Doesn't mean I didn't like it in my system. Sell lots is stuff that sounded/worked great in my system.
Often stuff is not bad, at least that which is listed in true condition. Reason for selling for many and saying as much may simply be the truth. There are some who would like to know. Stating so is no more than what you may certainly do if you were selling to a friend. Perhaps as I, naively feeling a certain kinship with other audiogoner's.
People get divorced , move, and sometimes they just want to upgrade or get out of the hobby. If they have good feedback and you want what they are selling then who cares why they are selling?
