I have gotten much of my equipment used/demo for GREAT prices. I recently bought a Rega Planar 6 for half price from a dealer because there is a small mar on the lid (I would think they could have replaced the lid and been far better off) and the original buyer didn't like it. Basically brand new. Also got a great pair of Rethm Saadhana for 1/2 price, 6 months old. I always ask why selling when seems too good. My Rethms were due to a job change and inability to keep them. I win!!
"You cannot handle the truth"
Should anybody be weary about any equipment (mostly new) that are barely used, no way near the usual break-in period, before putting it on sale?
Like, why would anybody used it for, say, 70 hours or so, then decided to sell? It's always a red flag to me, as if it's some kind of lemon, some forgotten freight being fall off from a truck, or the equipment sounds woeful.... I would not think any legit dealer would be that casual neither.
Not to upset anybody.... would love to hear some reasonable explanations such that I don't make the wrong assumption...
