Interesting Ads

Chayro, "I just found it very unusual that a seller had to go through his life story to sell you some hifi equipment."

Indeed. Then again, as he's selling at a price that makes one wonder why they wouldn't just go to their own dealer, I guess he felt his prose required extra effort. In a perverse way, all of his BS reminds me of "The Most Interesting Man In The World."

Personally I'd run like heck from this guy in fear of him slapping a surcharge on his asking price for the privilege of dealing with him.

jmcgrogan: "jon voight's car"=post of the week. my kudos. anyway, mr. travels-with-the-dead does have a long, legit (positive) sales record, so i maintain he's earned the right to be as weird as he chhoses in his ads, and i wish him well on his journey.

"I actually stopped selling on Audiogon because I got so tired of some of the people giving me their whole life story."
Too funny.

I read this guys story in his Revel ad and figured it was the start of an explination to any buyer why the gear wouldn't ship for three or four months and why communication would be little to none. I don't need a story from buyers and I certainly don't need a story from sellers but this time I took it as a welcome warning.
