...or the people who sell their wares.
Most of you know I am so suspicious of these auction sites. Today I had a browse at different hi-fi products, and noticed a worrying trend: a lot of the companies are selling products higher than list price. Perfect example are the Sennheiser HD 380 Pro. The recognised retailers are selling these between £110.00 - £120.00, but I've noticed an auction retailer selling at £120. That concerns me because they claim to be a bonafide seller but most trade from home thus have little come back.
Wharfedale Denton speakers from the early 70s were selling for £900... WHAT!! There are loads of other examples but wouldn't want to bore you.
I don't doubt for one moment that good deals are to be had on these sites, but I'd rather pay slightly over the odds at a known retailer, knowing that I'm not dealing iffy companies.
Many of you buy hi-fi products from Ebay and the likes with 'a happy ever after' conclusion - fair play to all who do...
Am i right to be slightly suspicious, or an dinosaur that's allergic to change?
