Ridiculous sale


Somebody is selling a Decware that sells at 2600 $ direct from the manufacturer for 4500 $ citing tha t you can pay that if you want to wait a year. This is a disgrace in Audiogon. Also TMR sales require you to go to their website and look for the product for information. Unfortunately the hobbiest mentality that predominated Audiogon Is being replaced by these dry, unfear actions and styles. What a shame.

Hey, I am going to say that TMR is a class outfit, and my experience with them has been great.

 

BTW, try to buy a car lately? Used cars like a 2020 Civic are $10K more than they would have been prepandemic.

A scumbag is the guy that sells gallons of water for $10.00 in a hurricane zone. A guy that TRIES to sell an amp for a profit taking advantage of lack of supply not so much. Water is a need, an amp not hardly. If he gets the price he is asking, well, he had a good day. Regarding TMR, they pay for that advertising space. They can do what they want.

I think this is perfectly OK. In fact, it is an improvement over free markets in that people who want things fast will pay a premium(double?) for doing so, and people who are willing to wait will pay less. So if you are against adding the time coefficient to the price of an item then I suggest buying things on sale is also unethical under your definition. Besides being a collector of electronics I also collect watches and cameras. The Nikon Z9 is a hot item right now and is never in stock. If you want a new one you go on eBay and pay a 25% premium. Look at the prices of Rolex(too expensive and would never own) over the last two years. The black( secondary markets) are playing a much bigger role in our economy than people realize. Just look at the Sony PS5 turnout.

"A fair price is what the market will bear."

Don't want it bad enough to pay the price, don't buy it.  It's your choice, nobody is forcing you to pay a premium.
