Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
A little context I’m Scottish, audio prices in my eyes are way over priced so right there I walk away from most new gear. Knowing Audiophiles are audio restless consequently there will be many pampered units in the used market. Now I have a rules... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I've  been playing with audio gear for over 60 years never saw a forum on the subject until I found this site. I did play on many sports teams over the decades (it was my bliss) while I do not know much about forums it appears to me like society a... 
Canton Reference Any opininion?
Well its 2023 and I figured anyone looking for gear now and stumbled upon canton would get a new entry update. Sooo I own the 9k reference model for many years and they look and sound as new, which is as instruments and music sound.   
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts

Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?
I expect to negotiate with the seller, If there is no counteroffer then  forgetaboutit I move on. Having said this I as a potential buyer laugh at the high prices of audio gear, the price performance ratio is off the charts. A fool and his money ...
