Taking our specials page to warp 9 (used and demo audio equipment)
Changing Times. Crank it up to warp Nine.
We’ve had a specials page for most of our 12+ year history.
But it was never like this.
The easiest way to buy demo and used audio equipment [often trade-ins or gear on consignment] is once again direct from the dealers themselves. Trust. Support. Email. And you can use credit cards.
Our new Used and Demo Audio page is very popular with links to many dealer’s special pages.
We want to be there to meet this demand and help audiophiles find their used ‘gems’ as well as, of course, their new ones.
So now we have tons of stuff on our page where we sell our own demo and used audio equipment.
I had no idea we had this much stuff squirreled away.
Lots of stuff I never knew we had at all [but someone knew. Guess who?]
Crazy Audiophile Wife Stories
One of us [not me] has been piling up boxes of stuff in the Audio Closet. In Listening room 3. The garage, the storage unit, the dining room table [seriously, yes] for YEARS. *I* just thought the ever growing mess was bad organization skills on the part of one of us [no, not me either :-)].
My wife is a pack-rat!
Who knew! [I guess maybe I am supposed to know these things? How am I supposed to keep up? Now she wants to collect phono cartridges. ???!!! Me? Speakers and amps and turntables? Yes. Definitely. Why not. Cartridges? No. That. Is. Just. Nuts. :-)].
[We’ve been trying to sell our house for awhile, and come to think of it, I wonder what the lookey-loos thought about all the boxes and cables and tweaks laying around. It’ll be nice when we can have a little more elbow room here. Maybe I’m just getting old and like to see the walls and floor sometimes ;-/]
Special Specials
So now we have one of the largest specials pages in the U.S. Us! Audio Federation! A sale. Feels weird.We hardly ever feel so ‘traditionally store-like’.
The only relatively new thing of ours we are selling [i.e. it is less than 5 years old :-)] is the Acapella Atlas speakers. These have been to a few shows and we have all agreed that they deserve a nice happy place in someone’s listening room where they can just make music for a good long while. [People, you should get these if you can swing it. Awesome performance. Awesome special pricing. Just saying.]
We take Consignments
And, beyond the stuff Neli has been putting in the corners, Under the beds. Behind the desks. On top of the closets. Is a lot of stuff we are selling is on consignment. Many people were never that comfortable with selling online, and it has gotten worse the last few years for high-end audio.
We are happy to do consignment for our customers and other reasonable people. We have one of the best world-wide reputations and tons of goodwill with audiophiles everywhere. We accept credit cards and wire transfers – and we are always happy to get gear into our international friends hands as much as we are people here in the Americas.
Happy shopping. And to infinity and a little bit more.
