Iwas recently in a sort of upscale type of thrift store and saw a pair of Parasound JC-1 Monoblocks. The store has a 30 day money back warranty if they are not functional but are not able to be returned if I am just not happy with the sound of them. They want $1,500 each which seems like a good deal but there is no way for me to test them. I would probably just buy them to hook up and use for now but also list them here for sale to flip if I go back and buy them. So I guess my question is should I buy them and if so how much do yall think I would be able to get for them?
Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
I've been scanning used gear for a while trying to look for an amplifier and a line stage pre-amplifier. To me it seems like quality higher end gear being made available is Limited. Maybe it's a good thing that all this quality gear I'm looking for doesn't want to be sold .
I have never been able to find used cables that are what I'm looking for from transparent, cardas, ect, or other worthwhile brands in the mid to upper price ranges. I guess people keep their old used cables in a box and don't even bother selling them . Maybe it follows that Quality used components sit on a shelf in someone's basement not being sold. It's tough giving up quality audio components even if you don't plan to use them and maybe keeping them around as back up or for a third listening room that never happens.
