Why the lack of interest in Accuphase?


i'm surprised by the lack of interest in my Accuphase piece, and was wondering why there is little interest past the first day of ads.
Is 9/11 still efecting the market that much, do people not know and appreciate Accuphase, or is it just too expensive.
Love to hear any musings on the state of the used market. I would figure things would be getting better.

I think that the main reason might be that the integrated amp you're selling isn't that well-known, although you might have problems selling one of their better-known CD or SACD players as well, due to the price and format uncertainty, as Chuck notes. I finally got around to cleaning out my closet of some nice items I've owned but no longer use, and found that the less expensive items have gotten far more response than the more expensive ones.
Not everyone has heard or seen the build of accuphase products and the American audiophile has been told over and over again by the press what's good and /bad .
This is not because I own Accuphase but we get in a rut
in america about products and it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks .Mike
For integrated's you have some major competition from the Jeff Rowland, Levinson, Magnum Dynalab, ARC, and now BAT.

Honestly I've never even SEEN an Accuphase component in the U.S. They look extremely well made. You might also add in a picture. I know I've lost sales because I don't have any pictures of my equipment.
Ive only heard good things abuot accuphase so I'm no help there. As for the lack of action on the first day of ads, We all seem to be afraid to be the first one to jump, maybe we all need someone else to confirm the value of our desire. As for auctions , the last few hours is the golden time when everyone who wants the item suddenly rushes to get it. Don't loose heart , I have found the members of AGon to be pretty good judges of value . You have to be a little patient.
Perhaps buyers are a bit shy of some of this pricier equipment, or your asking price is just a bit above market. You also might consider showing the $7000 list price in your ad so that buyers will better understand the deal that you're offering.
Orion Blue book shows the following:
Retail
Used: $2165
MSRP: 7000
Wholesale
Mint: 1472
Average: 1001

Accuphase builds incredible quality products; I've bought 3 pieces over the past 12 months (phono stage, pre, & PA) after trying out a lot of other equipment & I finally found some keepers! I've been looking for quality & sonics like this ever since Luxman abandoned their US market; finally found it, only this is even better.
