Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...

Elizabeth, that table is not for sale by just anyone, but by Arthur Salvatore, which should go a long way towards explaining the situation.

His Quixotic website is here:

Kind of the “You kids get off my grass.” Audio reviewer, and that’s putting it gently.

I enjoy reading the thoughts of highly-opinionated people, one’s with a well-defined point of view. Arthur is certainly that! I bought a piece from him a few years ago for a very reasonable price, and found him to be a pleasure to deal with.

I will throw in that I recently sold some big monoblocks that I didn’t want to ship locally, trouble free sale. The buying offer came to me from an ad I ran on Craigslist. I had three conversations with three potential Agon buyers but none came through with a deal. So don’t ignore Craigslist. It can help you sell your high end gear. That said, it’s far from perfect and I have always enjoyed meeting Audiogon members whom I’ve bought and sold gear with in the past.

FWIW, the budget hifi products have gotten so good in the last few years that it makes selling traditional hifi more difficult....especially separates. There are buyers, but they are fewer and farther between unless you are selling McIntosh, PrimaLuna, Naim, and a few others.  

Mint loudspeaker stands also sell only at -60 %. There is no logic in this business.
