No love for Cube Audio speakers?

Right. Besides, buyers pay in real dollars not % of something, so may just look only at the asking price. Say, I have $5k for speakers plus maybe $500 more to ship them or to have them delivered, and that's it. I would not care much about suggested retail, whether it was $10k or $15k. I would be prepared to spend $5.5k on speakers, and I would have quite a choice.

The market is telling you something you don't want to hear.

Where are they listed for sale? I searched and wasn’t able to locate them.

With past Covid supply problems and the inflation, less “hobby” money available.

Might be a great time for buyers…if they had the money…

Steveymo, 

They are listed on the other forum where there is no cost to list gear.  ;-). 

Aewarren, you are correct with that statement.  There is a price at which they will sell and I certainly with join a vast group of audiophiles who experience buttdarts when they part with gear.  

I have transacted with TMR in the past on the buy side so I will certainly follow your suggestion and contact them.  The hell of it that is will cost me at least a grand to get them shipped there on pallets with their wood crates, heavy as coffins, but maybe they can help on the shipping end.  I see no alternative to local or regional sales.

I thank you all for responding with alternatives and encouragement.  As I note above, as I am inclined to swap gear from time to time and with future audio purchases, I will take into consideration the likelihood of my ability to recapture a larger share of the retail price when I got to sell.  Spending ~$9K on speakers less than 2 years ago with no ability to recover close to 50% of my original expense on pristine gear has been a real eye-opener for me and my pocketbook... I am not that affluent.  Cheers and thanks again for the comments.  Mark  

Oh, a final thought.  I have used Pirate Ship and Shippo to ship gear and they are routinely nearly half the price of direct shipping with FEDEX, UPS, and USPS.  I encourage you to see if they might be right for your shipping needs.  The retail cost of shipping queers a lot of potential transactions.  However, neither company will deal with gear like my speakers that can only be shipped on a pallet.
