Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??



Seems that a VERY HIGH percentage of the gear posted for sale has been lightly used with next to zero hours in a smoke free, pet free, cafeine free, oxygen free, gamma ray free home with 10 air purifiers working all at once, and operated only on Sundays between 6 and 7 am at low volume.

Notice how tubes ALWAYS have low hours on them? Man are we lucky in this hobby! Everything stays new!

It cracks me up everytime to read the postings, but it is not because it is funny.

My Nordost interconnects I am selling have light use, maybe too light, as my ad vanished today with the new download. LOL Hopefully they will come back in a few days.
I will not consider gear if a picture is not posted with the add. I also want to see the original specs in the body of the add so I don't have to go searching all over the place to find them. I'm not sure why anyone thinks I would spend $5000 on something sight unseen but I'd test drive a $1000 winter beater. What I like about pictures is that I can quickly see how a person takes care of their gear. I will not consider gear when the picture..

-shows a dust covered piece of equipment (lazy slacker)

-was taken in your garage, sidewalk or deck (stored in garage?)

-is from the manufacturers web site (hiding something or just lazy?)

-was taken with the gear on your wall to wall carpeting (why?)

-is taken so far away I can't pick it out from your other gear

Dents are absolutely out of the question. I can understand a scratch but not multiple scratches. Then I know you're running through the woods with your equipment : )
Thats funny...I have noticed that as well. I wish I had the income to allow me to buy tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear to never listen too it. I personally use my stuff, I take care of it, but I USE my stuff no matter what it is. I'll probably never sell anything on here....but if I do you can bet it won't say "light use"..lol.
While on the subject about ads, a lot of people have CD players/transports and other items that came with a remote. Some items have limited, or no functions without the remote. In their ads, there is no mention of them. When you email them, a lot don't have them. I've never sold anything here, but have done a lot of buying and selling in the past. We *always* mentioned if the remote was missing, or had heavy wear, that came with the unit. Actually, the only time I remember remotes missing, were at pawn shops. Yes it happens during moving or some other unusual occasions, but in general, it seems to be pawn shop merchandise in my experience.
