Incredible deal on incredible amp


Ive had my BAT REXII power amp for sale for over a month on Agon with only a small amount of interest.  Ive lowered the price a couple of times.  I am having a hard time understanding the lack of interest, especially at the current price.  The only reason i am selling is I bought active speakers (ATC SCM50A) so no longer need a stand alone amp.  Otherwise,  it would have been my amp for life.  Any suggestions to make this more attractive for a sale?  I guess there is a price for everything and eventually if low enough someone would be interested.  I just think the price is so low now that i don't believe there is any interest at any price.

Thanks. Great comments.  A little background on my current set up. I had worked with Nyal Mellor (acoustic frontiers) over the past year on acoustical treatments and system set up. He really did a great job with my room treatment and final speaker placement. I had been using Dali Helicon MKII 400 speakers but wanted to upgrade. Nyal made several recommendations but I was intrigued by the ATC actives he discussed. The concept was to hear the music as it was intended to be heard. I couldn't resist the allure of having three powered drivers with active crossovers designed from the ground up. I have not been disappointed and can't imagine a better system for me now.  The BAT REXII  is a better amp than in the ATCs(actually I have the anniversary amp packs in the speakers) but the total synergy with the ATCs is truly magical. For someone looking for a top line tube amp as good as anything else on the market at any price the BAT is a top choice IMO. I guess I will put back on market in October and see what happens.
I may go with TMR but they wont buy it, only consignment. Or just post on usaudiomart for free when listing expires. If I had another system, I would just keep it. It is really that good.
Phd,  can you explain how you post an ad three times for $12.00?  I had to pay a $100 listing fee for 2 months. 
Thanks.  I didn't see that.  I think i will use that option when i repost (at higher price) in October.  I do have some local buyers expressing interest which would be great but will not lower price anymore.
Incredible?  Not sure if that is the best word to describe it but what i can say is that this amp replaced a Cary 120 MKII tube amp which is considered a very good amp as well.  I dont subscribe to all the flowery audiophile terms often seen here (since i dont know what they really mean) but what i can say is that the amp produced beautiful music in my system with solid bass, clear and refined mids and treble, with a realistic sound stage.  Certainly the best i have heard in my system.  Comparing to other amps auditioned, i just enjoyed what i heard tremendously.  This is in addition to the outstanding build quality of the amp with the auto bias feature a plus.  As another plus,  whenever i had a technical question, Victor for BAT (chief engineer) personally picks up and is very responsive.  He even answers emails within a day
