for sale FS or TRADE - Logitech Sqeezebox Touch w/Remote, WiFi and Touchscreen

[hionhifi]

Selling my Squeezebox Touch. It's in excellent condition and comes with OBM and remote. The Touch has been an excellent performer for me and I'm sure it'll continue to do so for you.

 

I'm the original owner and I've had it for about 2 years. It's never given me a problem.

 

I've installed Triode's Enhanced Digital Output (EDO) applet along with Sound Check's optimizations. If you don't want the EDO and Sound Check optimizations, you CAN factory reset the Squeezebox Touch.

 

TRADE LIST

 

I'm also looking for the following pieces of equipment.

 

1. DAC (volume control and remote would be nice, but not essential)
   
2. High End Music Player (like a Pioneer N-50, Auraliti, or similar unit)
   
3. Preamp w/remote control
   
4. 
   

I'm looking to trade for equipment that sells for less than $600 on the used market, but I can put in some cash depending your trade component.

So you used a product you bought for $250 for 2 years and now you expect to sell it for $425 (or exchange for $600 worth of equipment).

 

While this may be acceptable on eBay and Amazon; perhaps you should consider if such profiteering is a responsible attitude here on a friendly forum...

 

Eloise

Eloise, I don't appreciate you coming onto my for sale item making negative comments. I'm asking market price for my Touch which is inline with what they are currently selling for. As you seem to have done, check eBay and Amazon again, these are selling for upwards of $400 at those places.

 

To clarify since it could misconstrued that I'm looking for $600 in trade in value. I am not. I'm looking at more like $350-400. I am looking for trades that would sell on the used market in the $600 range for which I'd contribute the rest in cash.

 

Let's say I bought a very nice, highly prized McIntosh Amplifier back in 1969 for $450 and I kept it all these years. Now, today I want to sell it. Let's say the market value is $3000 (hypothetically). Am I wrong for selling it for $3000 or do I sell it for the inflation rate adjusted price? I don't think so. Classic cars, motorcycles, audio components, jewelry, you can apply this logic to anything worth more today than it was in the past.

I don't agree that people are being "ripped off as you call it." The market price is the market price. You don't have to like it, it is what it is.

 

My focus is on people who are interested in a Squeezebox Touch. To those people, lets talk.

 

BTW, thanks for keeping my listing at the top of the page.

Price drop to $325 shipped and no fees!

Paul, thanks for your commentary. I myself have sold hundreds of things on eBay over the years and I'm a regular guy. I don't believe that the vast majority of items being sold are by scam artists and rip offs. It'd interesting to read that analysis you refer to. While I can appreciate a person not wanting to buy something at market value its not a debate. When anyone sells something they have the right (I don't really know why I have to state this as we are all seemingly conscience adults) to sell the product for what we think it's worth. I see that Touch's garner a certain price so I ask that price. If the market won't bear it or the circumstances change I may modify the price (like because I have a new piece coming soon).

 

There's no tom foolery going on here although you and Eloise seem to lead viewers to believe that. I'm selling a Squeezebox Touch for Christ's sake. I'm not planning world domination. Lighten up.

 

"Man, you two are a trip...you come onto my listing and try to make me look like a ch..." I should stop writing now.

[hionhifi]

Paul while I can appreciate your input I don't agree with it. You're entitled to your opinion which I respect. "Thank you" to you and and Eloise for enlightening me.

 

The price has been dropped due to my other unit (Pioneer N-50) arriving soon. Let's hope it sounds as good and is as easy to use as my Squeezebox Touch has been. Fingers crossed.

We bought a used National Semiconductor coprocessor card on ebay in October 1995, and sold a few hunks of computer gear to finance Christmas presents the same year. Back when people had to send checks to each other to pay for things... trust me when I say the current ebay is absolutely full of shills and scam artists.

-Paul

What? I don't understand.

 

As I said, good luck with that. Nobody is trying to accuse you of anything, but trying to sell something for an inflated price to highly informed consumers like those of us here, and use e-bay as an example... well. Good luck again. I'm out of this crazy conversation.

-Paul

I revised my reply as I decided to take a different approach, but you captured it before I edited it. After reading my initial response, I like it too. I'm glad both are preserved.

 

Alot of us are highly informed buyers; it has to do with availability. If you want something, you'll likely pay the going rate. I have Squeezebox Touch for sale. Wanna buy it?

 

I'm out of this crazy conversation

-Paul

So soon...I'm just getting started! You ain't seen nothing yet.

[hionhifi]

Why not let the market decide if the price is too high?

My sentiment exactly.

[hionhifi]

(Grin) well, if you do sell it, I have three Brand-new unopened units in a closet here. I might commission you to sell them...

I'll take a Squeezebox Touch as commission to sell the first two. (Grin)
