Factors like how often does the speaker come up for sale? I bought a pair of ushers be20 dmd’s the seller rated 5 of 10 but they never come up used locally, the seller did a passable job repainting them and I was confident they would resell if/when I moved to the next purchase
When buying used speakers are cosmetics important to you?
I have an opportunity to buy a pair of used Totem Element Metal speakers that retail at $20k for $5k. They are flawless from a performance perspective but have cosmetic imperfections such as surface scratches that are not visible from the listening position, thus the price.
How important are cosmetics to your purchase of used speakers?
