Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?


If Raidho speakers are so great, why are there so many pairs for sale here?  These are not inexpensive speakers by any means and it seems at least every other day there is a pair for sale with some people having them only a few weeks to a few months, and they are really taking a bath on them.  What gives?  Are they not as great as they are made to be?  Is Jonathan Valin a shill for the company?

I heard the 4.1 diamond at Blink High End north of Boston and was very unimpressed.  I have heard many other highly regarded speakers for much less money sounding wonderful.  So, what gives?

I'm not a stats guy - math was never my strong suit - but seems like without them we're flying blind in this thread, and most other threads that ask why a particular brand is being frequently sold off.  I don't know anything about Raidho's sales figures, but hypothetically if you told me they sold 1000 pairs of speakers per year, all models combined, and at any given time there were 50 pairs available here then I'd take notice.  But if they sell 30,000 pairs (and again, this is hypothetical, I have no idea what they sell annually) and at any given time there are 15 pairs available, who cares?   At the time this thread was started, was the quantity available for sale statistically significant, or anecdotally meaningless?  Without numbers we just don't know...
And now the thread has officially derailed, gone off the tracks, and plunged into the gorge below.  First it was hijacked by someone whose only interest is self-promotion, and now it's becoming a commentary on people who spend amounts of money beyond the comprehension of other people.  

What can we talk about next?  How about whether scientists named an insect "boll weevil" because it's evil, or it's purely alphabetic coincidence?
