Reason for selling is...

For me at least, half the fun of this hobby is arguing with myself over what to do and/or what I should have done. For example, I was perfectly happy with my loom of Kubala-Sosna cables. So what did I do, I sold all but one of them. Now I’m back in the hunt to create another loom… maybe or maybe not Audience. So, when you see my ad to sell my Kubala XLR Emotion and Nordost Frey RCA interconnects, know that I’m selling them just to have a little fun.

As to what I should have done, I should have grabbed the YG Carmel’s that magically appeared on AudiogoN over the weekend… but instead I sat back to ponder the WAF and someone grabbed them. Such is life.

I list my reasons for selling, because that's almost always one of the first question I get asked. It's usually, "how old is it? Are you the original owner? Why are you selling it?" So I try to address all of those questions in my ad.

How about my wife found out I dropped the cost of a Hyundai on a piece of stereo gear and she didn't think it prudent when our mortgage is underwater.

With the recent FLOOd of zero feedback sellers on here seems like A-gon is becoming swindle cwntral.

*Look, just assume buyers aren't stupid* (Glaucon)

"Why are you selling" is one of the biggest (& dumbest, IMO) questions. I don't know what buyers are trying to accomplish with that: Hoping that the seller will blurt out; "It's a horrible POS", or: "the transmission in my used car is stuffed full of bananas"?

The 2nd annoying question is: a one sentence e-mail "Is it still available"? Those people are invariably tire-kickers I've found--their question is literal--they have no interest in buying it, they just want to know..... "Is it still available"?
