The thing about selling gear, and this is any gear, it doesn’t sell until it sells. I’ve had stuff sit there weeks or longer and then boom sold, it just takes one buyer. Patience is a virtue when trying to sell gear in a crowded marketplace.
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
I've had a Rogue Sphinx 3 listed for a month at what sure looks to be a great price- $899. A few half hearted inquiries who then go dark. The unit is $1600 new. I haven't even gotten any low ball offers- which usually happens with any item I post, its part of the process. Meanwhile I've sold a Pass 250.8, An ARC REF150SE, and two other expensive amps with little trouble.
Is the low end of the market suffering? Is Rogue falling out of favor ? My listing is at least $100 lower than a similar one and I think they're both priced fairly. I'll keep it rather than list for any lower.
Any idea of what's going on ?
thanks

@phd ...another Metis user. I Love my Metis because It’s only got two tube sockets.. no buffer tubes which means rolling is inexpensive.. and possible.. and gives very different results depending on the tube. NOS such as Tung Sol VT99, older Raytheon 6F8G, Sylvania Grey glass (all w adapters) are all excellent choices however. Transparency is the best quality about any component. I used to use a Steve McCormack passive but the Metis with the right tubes has let me pack that back into the box. Rogue has given me excellent support with my mod requests. |
jhw9, you're really fortunate & lucky to own a Rogue Metis because they are not put up for sale very often, in fact I can't find even one for sale on the internet. I removed mine for sale after I got my senses.back. Purchased some new 6SN7s (Sylvania) and it sounds super good. It already is beating out a five thousand preamp I own. |
