Don't Think I'll Buy This...


I'm in the market for a 2nd amp and 2nd pair of speakers. Check my feedback, I'm a legitimate buyer and will make a reasonable deal. I've had these experiences which seem odd for someone wanting to sell:

1) "I'll post photos in a few days". Usually they never show up. I bet ads with photos get stuff sold lots quicker than without.

2) "it's still avail, 2nd owner, you want it or not, don't have box, i got other people" I don't rate proper punctuation, grammar, etc.? They think such a dismissive attitude makes me want to work with them?

3) "Good condition amp." This sometimes is the only body of ad and often doesn't contain the "new" price. Why make your prospective buyer do bunches of legwork to find out things like power output, etc. I, like most people, want more...some meat. Try to talk me into it; it's worked before by grabbing my interest. We all love to read about audio so give us something to pour over a bit.

4) "If you're reading this ad you already know what this is." Hmmm, not really. I've bought items that I originally knew nothing about but was drawn in by an ad. Am considering such a speaker right now. However, I got a gruff response to an inquiry and immediately wrote the guy off. I certainly can wait until another pops up.

I've dealt with non-English speaking sellers and buyers who were actively involved and made the deal a pleasure, so I think these kinds of attitudes are just personality types but, boy, I sure don't think I'll buy anything from them.

As for #1, I can see not getting to something, we all are busy.

#2 Let them sell to 'the other peole' Most, if not all of the people I have had the pleasure to deal with on tis site have been GREAT! I personally speak to most of the folks selling/buying higher end gear, and have yet to have any issues... except one guy who sold me two left IC's, then disappeared... at least they work..

#3 I must agree, I usually know what I am looking for, so how the ad is written has little effect on me
