Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer

I bought two items 2-3 yrs ago and the transactions were smooth, I've unsuccessfully tries to buy Wilson Sasha- out of the 9 pair he has listed all the time- he totally trashes them when trying to do a deal- like nothing I've ever run into. Bizarre so it makes me think these are non existent and for bait and switch purposes. Why have them all posted and then do his absolute best to NOT sell you a pair when you call??? On this alone I'll never buy from him again. 

yes, I would have paid his asking price, this wasn't an attempt to lowball on these. He simply made it clear that he doesn't like them, that if I insist he'll sell them to me but that I'll only be calling him to take them back sooner than later! 

nope, same pattern when trying to buy a sub; denigrated the JL Audio F`113 and pitched the REL (he'd forgotten I'd bought an REL from him two years ago).

It is what it is, I'll leave it at that and there are enough people who responded to this thread indicating they has similar experiences w/him. It's just weird behavior frankly. 

Yep, I used to run a hi fi chain in NY/NJ years ago - we had loss leaders (but we did really have them in stock and would happily sell them), we used them to attract customers on big holiday sale events...

Uh, I've never named the dealer in any of this conversation, not looking to start a flame war. Other's have and have indicated similar experiences but I've not named the dealer. 

Cool @audioman58 - you're able to improve on Wilson's crossovers? Pretty impressive.
