Very interestimg comments all around. I would love to buy really boutique stuff, but I notice that it tends to stay up for sale for long periods or is reposted for sale at later dates. Guess there's so much great sounding equipment from well-known makers (which tends to sell relatively quickly), that it makes little sense to me to buy less marketable items. The idea of having a fast "out" should the equipment not work for me is very appealing.
