Paying a premium for the opportunity to avoid waiting is an everyday thing. Try booking a flight for the same day and you will pay the highest convenience premium you'll ever see. If you can afford convenience, there's no problem. I wouldn't do it, and I think it's silly to pay more than retail, but that's an individual choice.
Ridiculous sale
Somebody is selling a Decware that sells at 2600 $ direct from the manufacturer for 4500 $ citing tha t you can pay that if you want to wait a year. This is a disgrace in Audiogon. Also TMR sales require you to go to their website and look for the product for information. Unfortunately the hobbiest mentality that predominated Audiogon Is being replaced by these dry, unfear actions and styles. What a shame.
