Is it just me?


What is with people listing speakers for sale into the 5000. range and not bother to take off the grill or socks and showthe drivers? and in the post say the drivers are perfect.I've never responded to listing where covers were left on. Laziness perhaps? Try selling a car without showing whats under the hood.

When I sold my GE Triton Ones here a month ago, I got a few request from tire kickers to take the grill off to show the drivers. When I responded that the grill is made to come off for servicing only and that it is a big ordeal to remove them, I was called a liar.

One of the persons who called me a liar put an offer in a week later and I refused him because of being labeled a liar from him. Just who do these people think they are? As far as showing the inside of the electronics, why? Do you think I am going to take apart one of my McIntosh pieces for some stranger? I would be worried about scratching the screws and lose sale ability of the item. I always post enough pictures but if you want to give me unreasonable requests, pass me by as I won’t sell to you out of principal.

Also, if I am asking 2K for a 5K pair of speakers which is already priced 1K below Blue Book, don’t offer me $1100.00 and then demand I pay the 700-800.00 shipping charge (I would net $300.00). If you are that type of person, steer away from my ads.

Thank you
@noromance,

my mistake and apologies. I read over the word “vintage”. I have a record mat for sale and one guy wanted the measurements of the mat. I measured very carefully. He then said he needed absolutely precise measurements in mm. I went to CVS and bought a ruler with millimeter markings. I measured again and sent him the info. The guy ghosted me and wouldn’t respond. Talk about rude! I used to like selling on here but not anymore. Too many unreasonable demands from people who had no intentions of purchasing.


There was another guy interested in my speakers.  He pestered me for 4 Days with questions and I answered all of them. He then asked if I would lower the price more so he could afford shipping. We agreed on a price and I told him to put in the formal order on Audiogon and I would approve it.  He ghosted me.  He could have said he changed his mind but was again, too rude to do so.  This was a regular in the forums too.
