Stolen property
reminds me another funny aspect: "how will you buy it? "cash?" "is the money yours?" "?" "I mean you could have just robbed someone on the subway?"    
Stolen property
@jastralfu I thought your comment was spot on.  On the subject: doesn't sound like it should be your concern. Imagine if everyone on c2c sales were asking this question. On every listing on craigslist you would accuse people to be thieves. Would... 
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
@benanders  the spindle spinner site is down. For $175 I found it a very costly deal compared to actual "standalone" mess and sink-free and vacuuming record cleaner  
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
I came across Classe a lot, never heard them but all the reviews I have read were very positive. As I am experimenting, tweaking, I came to believe that a tube + SS combination may be best for my ears and monoblocks is the way to go. (Tube pre mon...

full range or mini's and a sub
I think it's generally cheaper to put together a quality system with small/under 25" speakers and sub(s), more flexibility with the placement, swapping components in and out, etc. I am a big fan of small speakers with big sound....   
Monitor Audio G4 Gold 100 or Proac Studio125?
Apples and oranges Monitor Audio is 5 times bigger than ProAc (economies of scale). On the other hand, ProAc  https://speakerchoices.com/?brand=proac products are higher end.  Resale value: Monitor Audio Quality: ProAc Sound: whatever you hear.... 
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
even if you return something on Crutchfield on Amazon, it's not without a lot of costs and consequences, so I am usually very careful with the return option. Most seasoned buyers on audio forums have a different approach: research the hell out of...
