I figured that eventually they would charge a restocking fee and 5% is actually quite reasonable. It will cut down on people who aren’t that serious about making the purchase but just want to try something out. That takes away from their time and then they are out a piece of equipment while the other person is playing with it with really no intention to buy. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people like that. They probably got burned one too many times. It’s a shame it has to come to this but it’s a sign of the times.
@ozzy, I had bought a Mac MC152 amp from Audio Classics for $2900.00. I used it almost every day for a little over 2 years and a Mac MC302 amp caught my eye at TMR. They offered me $2500.00 trade in on my amp and it cost me 2K more for the newer amp. They were asking $4500.00 for it. I made out great, only losing $400.00 on my trade off the $4500.00 asking price of the MC302. They sent me a prepaid UPS label on them and I sent my amp. I received the new amp exactly 1 week later. I am very pleased, one of the better deals I have made.
