tonykay - My apologies if I violated any terms of this forum. I wasn't trying to sell here. Normal everyday items I sell through FB Marketplace. I also restore and sell vintage, collectable pinball machines. These generally sell through specialty websites. I listed my equipment with that experience in mind. I didn't know if the same existed for higher end audio equipment.
noromance - thank you for the tips.
limomagnus - I used to work trade shows in Chicago. I was frequently able to buy off the floor at the end of a show because generally it was cheaper for the exhibitors to sell the demo equipment than it was to ship it back to their companies. I knew when I bought this equipment that it was higher end, and I was getting a significant discount over retail. I also knew that I loved the quality of sound it produced. I really don't remember what I paid for any of it at the time. I do remember that I also bought a pair of Kirksaeter speakers - I think they were Monitor 50s. I really loved those speakers. They were the best bookshelf speakers I had ever heard at that time and perfect for college. I literally shook them off the shelf one to many times and destroyed the cabinets.
