15k blues

My guess is that anyone who is ready willing or able to drop that kind of scratch on audio stuff isn't the sort who is combing these forum's looking for a bargain. Chances are, if you're in the market for a $40k amp, you're also looking for professional installation, delivery, room design, pampering, hand-holding, etc. -- not "bargain" used gear. Any way you slice it, the market for a $40k amp has got to be diminishingly small at nearly any "reasonable" price....

Good comments by Rc and Mezmo above-- I agree. Your thread title sounds like it could be a good blues song;>). Craig

I don't get it. I've bought a number of items at or above the amount you speak of on Audiogon and through Audiogon.

I suspect that those who do buy at that level aren't willing to discuss it.

For fear that their significant others may find out, perhaps?

Bill E. - do you regularly go through escrow of something? I would be pretty edgy sending a $15k M.O. :)
