If it's too good to be true....


I am currently looking at two listings from the same person (same manufacturer too)on AudioGon classifieds, CD player and Integrated amplifier. Stated "like new", they each are being sold for about $600 less than retail. Latest model's too. Person's rating for transaction is high (100+). So what's the problem? Possibly class "B"? Are all Audiogon Classified lister's on the up and up? What should I be aware of?

Thnx.

Check feedback and reassure yourself with contact about the seller. If something still feels funny then - trust the feeling and walk away.

That having been said, you can usually get brand new stuff for 15-20% off MSRP new in store and 20-30% off if you find the right source, so look at the $600 off and figure if the % is actually high. Almost nobody goes over about 30% new unless there is a reason (no dealer in West coast for example, the company may sell direct at substantial discount).

Good luck,
