I bought several components nearly new with no issues at all. Even a couple of phono cartridges. Got the best deals compared to buying new. I always buy only from near perfect feedback. A negative because "the buyer decided not to go forward with the deal" doesn't count for me. Who cares, move on.
"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...
