| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer nope, same pattern when trying to buy a sub; denigrated the JL Audio F`113 and pitched the REL (he'd forgotten I'd bought an REL from him two years ago). It is what it is, I'll leave it at that and there are enough people who responded to this... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer yes, I would have paid his asking price, this wasn't an attempt to lowball on these. He simply made it clear that he doesn't like them, that if I insist he'll sell them to me but that I'll only be calling him to take them back sooner than later! | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer I bought two items 2-3 yrs ago and the transactions were smooth, I've unsuccessfully tries to buy Wilson Sasha- out of the 9 pair he has listed all the time- he totally trashes them when trying to do a deal- like nothing I've ever run into. Bizarr... | |
| Manufacturers Hi @Chrisoshea237- I've been trying to buy from a retailer not a manufacture. I'm def not a tire kicker and buy a fair amount of equip on a regular basis. I also used to work in the CE industry for a decade and ran a nine store high end chain.... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Yah, weird though. The Chicago dealer constantly posts Wilsons on Audiogon- today he must have 8 ads at least for various models. Call him and try to buy a pair and he denigrates them immediately making you feel like an idiot for wanting to buy th... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers @ghasley We will soon find out! I'll be posting them in a day or two! thanks | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Hey thanks for the advice, yeah, I'm familiar with the internet and buy and sell on Audiogon and US Audiomart. The klipsch are Cornwall 4 so big and not likely to sell easily and ship hence my intent to do a trade. And not complaining about price,... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers I guess but I'm just not up to the struggle to spend my money. I was just quoted $800 to deliver a pair of Wilson Sabrina- new- no set up and to have the delivery people take back my Klipsch and Harbeth- a round trip of 200 miles - I could literal... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers hah ! I rode for 40 years, many Harleys and BMW's loved them all ! | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers So, yes, I've been calling and talking with the dealers not just emailing. I'm not lowballing- they seem to be inflexible on their price- and I'm taking their lowball offers on my trades, and, in some instances being charged 400-600 to deliver the... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers I never the less find it bizarre that when asking a dealer of Harbeth what they'd take a pair of mint rosewood HL5 super plus in for it's as if they've never heard of the model, ask for the description several times and stumble and hesitate as if ... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers Seriously, just checked a site that does only pre owned and they say they need two weeks to respond to provide a trade in quote...ridiculous- you can trade car in and drive out in two hours; you can buy a house in a day but our audio dealers can't... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers agreed! | |
| Cornwall IV and subwoofers I am. I have the Cornwalls on low (6") amp stands to get them slightly off the floor in my 13 x 22 listening room. I'm running a Pass 250.8 amp, PS audio DSD JR and Pass XP10 pre amp. I have a REL s510/SHO sub on high level inputs off the Pass amp... | |
| RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . . Sadly because social media has given access, a "voice" and a platform/forum to anyone and everyone. Due to the safety and relative anonymity of sitting at a keyboard rather than engaging in person people who would otherwise never be aggressive or ... |
