"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...

You're going to lose a lot of sleep if you need to understand everyone's wherefores and whys for selling. For me, the people who buy and sell on a whim are the heartbeat of Audiogon. I'm more than happy to let the other guy pay the upfront retail price. I recently bought three DACs so to listen for myself which one I want to keep. So, I'll be selling two of them soon. That's why I buy and sell in a months time.

       millercarbon, most of us over 60 have been raised on the same values as yourself. I share your core beliefs HOWEVER, maybe the guy who can buy a $135,000 Porsche on a whim should post his pearls of wisdom here. I'd like to have that kind of loose change!
