Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer
So, what's with the Chicago used gear dealer who constantly advertises tons of used Wilson, (the same models for over a year or more) yet anyone who calls him to buy a pair get's totally discouraged by him on Wilson?
Is this just the old bait and switch with him having none of them in stock? Right now he must have 12 ads of the 20 on Audiogon- yet when called about actually buying a pair he doesn't even attempt to subtly switch you to something else. He makes you feel like an idiot for considering buying Wilson and will "only sell you a pair of you insis"t and then tells you "but I know I"ll only be buying them back from you".
haha -- well no you didn’t call him out by name... check... don't want to start a flame war ... er... check? perhaps the worst insult of all is when you think everyone reading your op is stupid https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis995dd-wilson-audio-sasha-in-titanium-silver-full-range https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa6jb7-wilson-audio-alexia-2-blue-color-speaker https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9c4c2-wilson-audio-sasha-in-titanium-silver-full-range https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9f0gj-wilson-audio-sasha-2-macadamia-complete-full-range https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9bj47-wilson-audio-sasha-2-dessert-silver-complete-full-range https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9ijai-wilson-audio-sophia-mkiii-titanium-full-range |
i have spoken to albert several times over the years, always fun conversations, pointed sometimes but he is definitely a guy who feels out who he is dealing with in early interactions, as most sharp retailers in any business do certainly not vouching for him nor his business practices, but i would say, as we all get older, we often get somewhat crankier in our day to day disposition, and extensive knowledge in a subject often leads to one also being opinionated and even directive, as a matter of human nature ... so not surprised albert has gotten this way (or maybe he was always this way 😆) i just get pretty amused when folks like the op posts something like he did, but now -- he wasn’t naming names 🤣 ... thinks that lil ol qualifier coats him in teflon and kevlar from incoming... ...and he says he used to run a hif retail shop in new jersey... this would be the least street smart retailer in the state 😂 |
