Posted an ad this morning for a Canary Audio C3000 preamplifier - with a teaser picture of art work (Pink Floyds album Covers painted on the back of Ladies sitting by a indoor Pool) and a shockingly low Price in the headline to catch attention to the ad. In addition I ran a banner with the ad as well.

So far the ad has received incredible attention 1776 views in less than 12 hours, more than twice an ad I am running for a very reasonably priced turntable has got in almost 30 days (911 views). I have received one ridiculous offer for $1000 on a $16K MSRP preamp, a half baked offer of $1000 on a preamp that should fetch $3000 - countered with $1500 including freight so that bidder disappeared :-) Then there was the guy whom could not come to grips with that he had to make an offer, many PM and one phone call too from this guy.
I later this afternoon posted an ad for a DAC and Transport Combo - again seeking bids for a $ 16K MSRP combo - received one offer for $1500 on that one :-) I suppose he did not read the part that stated make a reasonable offer.

Good Listening
