I do believe Rodney (and even Presto, below: "Here is what I would do") have nailed the dealer's attitude and mistakes. I have been on the receiving end of very similar treatment from KD, this when he knew NOTHING about me, I had not been a previous customer, I live way too far away to waste his time auditioning, etc. When I read the OP before it had any replies, it was glaringly obvious who it was, and this BEFORE reading the reference to show gear, later in the post.Posts like this pop up about him from time to time. Each time, he will appear late into the thread, not unlike some avenging dragon, and attempt to vilify the poster by glorifying himself in a churlish way (cash flow and strong backs, indeed). Having a lot of inventory does NOT make you a hero. Buying cheap from manufacturers and then selling with normal or near-normal discounts does NOT make you a champion of the impecunious. I took a little time to review the demo/specials/used page. Didn't find any screaming bargains there, I'm sorry.
Further: in addition to some phrases that some might deem unprofessional ("roachy used pieces", like all audio gear is roachy once used), there seem to be some instances of him making his own rules, esp re the English language. Consider this example, edited for brevity: "...like new condition, not even fully broken in ... Originally purchased from us then customer decided to go with separates. Retail with cap upgrade is about $xxxx. Call to discuss. This is not a used unit, so don't expect a used price tag."
So what is it if not a used unit? A store demo? Didn't the purchaser open and use it (implied in "not even fully broken in")? That makes it USED, dude. I know it's not a car, but you do know that old chestnut about "drive a car off the dealer's lot, it loses $xxx grand"? Audio seems to work the same way IME. Go check out all the Audiogon ads where the item is only a few weeks old, and selling for USED prices, roaches NOT included.
No doubt KD will be back to "rip me a new one". Kinda appropriate, coming from him.
