wartman Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I have an opportunity to buy a Carver C-11 preamplifier and Carver TFM-45 amplifier. They are both in good condition 7-8 /10 I have auditioned them and they work flawlessly. I have trawled hifishark etc. but can't work out a fair price to offer them. Any input would be most welcome.

I am in Tasmania, a LOT of people operate this way, whether they are trying to sell a banana or a house. I had never run into these types of dealings till I moved here. Sadly, they are easily offended if you offer them less than their unknown amount. Most of the time I just walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisguittin Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Couldn't you preface it by saying, "I am keen not to offend/insult you by low balling your expectations. Give me a ballpark." ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenheart Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi Wartman, l am in Tasmania too, yes you are right a lot of ppl operate that way. How’s it going with the Carver gear ?
