Incredible deal on incredible amp

Ive had my BAT REXII power amp for sale for over a month on Agon with only a small amount of interest.  Ive lowered the price a couple of times.  I am having a hard time understanding the lack of interest, especially at the current price.  The only reason i am selling is I bought active speakers (ATC SCM50A) so no longer need a stand alone amp.  Otherwise,  it would have been my amp for life.  Any suggestions to make this more attractive for a sale?  I guess there is a price for everything and eventually if low enough someone would be interested.  I just think the price is so low now that i don't believe there is any interest at any price.

Great... now we have spam. 

RE the OP's issue.  I wonder why it's not selling, it is obviously a great amp at a great deal.  If I were in the market, I would look into it. 

Maybe it is slow market.  

Take me for instance, I have sworn off buying any equipment until 2019.  And I usually buy a lot, so that's 1 less buyer.  

I wonder if people are just feeling a financial pinch. 

I don't see hifi slowing down perse, it seems like companies are coming out with new gear and there seems to be some enthusiasm with it.

It could also be that there isn't much BAT marketbase.... I searched your amp and could not find much in terms of reviews or discussion on the forums.  I have known about BAT for some time, have looked onto REX preamp in the past before settling on the Cary 05.

Maybe it's just not a popular amp...

In addition, there is a competition - other gread tube and hybrid amps. And.. $6k for a used amp is still quite a big money for most. And for others - they just go and buy new. In New York City they need briefcase for a wallet, they don't care about $14k difference if they want it.
Look at LAMM amps here, they don't sell either, and both the price and the seller often look good.
