lack of interest

I have placed about 15 components on the Gon over the past 3 years or so.Everything sold in a matter of days except for 2 components. The one is a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-8As. It was for local buyer only but living inbetween Milwaukee and Chicago I thought there would be someone that would love to buy these beauties. I placed the add 3 times. They might be sold now but the reason I am starting this thread is I am curious how many have had the same surprise. I had the oppisite surprise where I have gotten Emails just minutes apart for over an hour.

I'd have to agree that the market isn't hot right now. I'm guessing tax time has people taking a bigger hit plus the cost of gas has people thinking they can't afford spending on audio.

Thanks guys. I'm not complaining. I'm just surprised how things happen the way you least expect it to. Also I bought these from a local seller without the original boxes. I will be more carful of that in the future. The boxes for the planar elements is expensive.

I am only asking but could it also be you wanted too much money for them?
I just sold something way too cheap, I got many hits on the item and found out it was worth $200-$300 (so rare it isnt in the Bluebooks) more than I charged, oh well atleast it is going to a good home.

I can understand wanting a local sale for large speakers as I would be quite leery of shipping them. I think the price has to be somewhat lower and the seller should probably expect a longer wait for a sale to materialize.

High Chadnliz. I was asking just below the average blue book price the last two times I placed an add. They are a very nice looking speaker and very good sonically. But they are tall and that makes it hard to transport Pbb. So if the co-worker buys them he will have very nice speakers for very little money but they will be in a good home. Thats more important to me than the money.
