Moral of the story is: Buy well and BUY USED!
Resale value of BAT gears
It seems there are a lot of people who love BAT products. I'm one of them, but just a little confused about their resale value. Just saw $5000 VK-5i selling for $1600. Although the unit's been discontinued, the price seems ridiculous. I feel that the performance of BAT gears are way up there with other brands such as McIntosh, Conrad-Johnson, and Audio Research, to name a few. But these brands resale values are much higher. Why?
