[QUOTE="Morne Coetzee, post: 917913, member: 17259"] There is one, you pay a subscription for it. Again local buyers are reluctant to pay fair prices. However I believe there is a buyer for every seller. For every buyer that buys a Metronome CD player for R500k there is a buyer that will pay R100k for a 2nd hand Wadia or Esoteric. I see lots of them sell in SA, those guys just don't advertise usually sells via dealers or word of mouth, alternatively you export. What hurts the market is impatient sellers, or even dealers that take huge losses and then that low price becomes the new norm. Another example is an SA customer that upgraded to a pair of Dan D'agostino Relentless amps about a month ago and his Momentums were quickly and swiftly sold on the second hand market. Depreciation is usually significant already so if something like that gets exported, I do see it as both parties the local seller and buyer loses out. [/QUOTE]
