What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.

There is a lot of great equipment available for sale here on Audiogon (as opposed to Cr**g**st), and some of it is expensive, even very expensive, but no one is forced to buy anything. The summer, notwithstanding, there is a button called "Make Offer" that allows anyone to submit an offer lower than the asking price. I have noticed that some things have been sitting longer than previous years. Sometimes, it's the fault of the seller. One guy, recently told me he was too busy for a short demo, despite living close to me. I just think that, with 100%+ feedback, I deserved a demo. Needless to say, I won't be buying anything from that seller.

minorl,

The experience I described in my post doesn't really fit your scenario. The price being asked seemed reasonable, and I was willing to buy. I just wanted to be sure that the piece wasn't damaged in some way as the price seemed very reasonable. The seller gave me a story about being too busy to allow anyone to demo his headphones. I think he just wanted someone to send him the money, and not ask any questions, which is fine for me. If I hit the buy button, I would have been committed to buying which I may not have wanted to do based on a demo, if the piece was damaged. Then I would have to deal with negative feedback here on Audiogon. Since he was local, I thought a demo was a reasonable request. Apparently, the seller disagreed.
