That's lame! I'm talking about doing research on whether it's even feasible to be considering a piece of gear but not being able to find any previous sales with prices listed to even get a ballpark figure of what they typically go for used.
As an example I'm looking into different DAC's and just yesterday started considering an Apogee Mini-DAC, there was one listed and withdrawn in the for sale forum so I PM'd him with some questions. The owner was kind enough to answer them and even told me what he had been asking although his asking price seemed rather high. I wondered if that was the typical going rate because if it was then I figured I would be better off looking at a new Lavry instead so I went searching for old FS ads but I couldn't find any previous sales that still listed the asking price so I'm still clueless as to whether I should even be bothering to consider the Apogee.

After you buy it, you take it down. There's still other cars of the same make around with tags on. As you eliminate some types of arguments, you will also create new ones. |
