I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?


two issues here, would it be smarter to buy the used speakers not knowing where they’ve been or how hard they’ve been played or maybe there’s something wrong with them. And the other issue is what happens to the value of my speakers immediately after the box comes to my house. And I guess the third issue is, amI insane for buying $50,000 speakers.

It seems like I’ll be losing $20,000 immediately and of course probably a little more since if I ever sell they will need to be reduced further so used price can be 30,000 if a dealer is involved which they probably will be.

This raises a serious concern that very nice speakers are just too expensive.

Fortunately (and luckily) I’m not married so that makes this process a lot easier

So again what $50K speakers have you gotten your  25%, opps 20% deal on.
 

I happen to know where I could go get a pair of Acora SRC-2s for at least 30% off. 
 

It’s as though you guys don’t even peruse the ads dealers often place here on Audiogon, yeesh…

And we wonder why so many dealers have gone out of business in the last decade.

"I demand 20% off or I'm walking!" 

"Buh-bye."

@emergingsoul do you like saving money? Buy used from a trusted seller and you should have no issue

@helomech "I happen to know where I could go get a pair of Acora SRC-2s for at least 30% off."

Good disclose where.

You keep acting like you’ve made this 25% off deal in store so give the facts on your deal - brand, model, dealer. Post your system with pictures while you’re act it so we have the proof. Dealers make 20-30% deals on lines they are moving out of and on demos. Reading adds isn’t making chest puff deals.

BTW those Acora's aren’t $50K speakers - $37K
