you guys just dont get it: used speakers, like used jeans have a certain history about them and to some buyers that look or 'feeling' is more valuable. apparently jean companies whip jeans with belts and straps to get them looking 'used' in the right way. i plan to beat the living shit out of my new Oracle Delphi to get that 'once-owned-by-a-rock-star look) and expect to really clean up on ebay when i post it there later this week. i'll let you guys know!
Why pay "more" for USED??
Ok, I know you must be thinking this thread is titled wrong, but I just came across an Ebay ad where a pair of B&W Nautilus 802's sold for $8,101 used! To make matters worse they were all screwed up. It has pics of the midrange cabinet all scratched and the ad says the tweeters are dented. I'm beside myself on how someone could spend "over" retail (N802's retail for $8k) for a pair of used speakers that are f'd up anyway. If your spending $8k on speakers don't you do some research first??
Don't believe me? Here's the ad:
