I was wondering if anybody knows Jeff Ewing at Audio Unlimitd in Maryland or James Plumb from Sound Garden in Macomb Illinois? they have both responded to an ad I placed in Craigs list, but I'm a little resistant to deal with someone out of state. there have been so many scams I just want to play it safe. If anyone has info on these guys or maybe some direction as to how to safely do a transaction like this I could really use the help. Thanx.

not me.. what part of Md?
the small chain I worked for had a store or two in Md when I was there. I could check in with some guys from the old days and see if anyone there knows the place.

Hey Kiki, I did a search and it looks like the stor is in Elkton Md. at 1191 Pulaski Hwy. That would be great if you could check. I'm trying to sell this switching system I salvaged when the goodguys chain here in ca. closed down, it's been tricky cause I dont really know much about the stuff, I bout there car audio rooms mostly for the cables and RCA's, so I just have been kinda winging it. Do you know much about this stuff? I could use some help with pricing it. Oh by the way I read your bit on rear speakers and staging, and when you have time I have a couple of questions about it. (boy I'm kinda needy!!!)

last time I dealt with a switching network for a display was years ago.. I'm sure they've changed quite a bit in function and price by now, so I wouldn't know where to begin with pricing.
I'd contact the manufacturer to get the original MSRP on the unit you have, and ask for maybe half that if it's in good shape?

feel free to ask the stuff about rear fill. stick the thread in general discussion or speakers.

Thanx Kiki, from what I've found out so far these are older switches MTI Matrix, New retail with the 4 Astron 50's was orig, around $15,000 ,but when I offered them to one guy for $5,000 he thought I was nuts. so just trying to get perspective, I'm not out to screw anyone just want to be able to walk away from the deal not feeling guilty or feeling screwed myself. I will post my other questions tomor, time for bed, its a school night for me and the wife has that look in her eyes right now. c-ya

see if you can find another one for sale.
five grand isn't really unreasonable.
new ones will cost him quite a bit more I'd think.

If it helps,

The large ugly as hell bright neon green Fusion Audio sound boards/switching things cost $10,000

I believe the smaller ones were a tad over $5,000

Depending on how much you got invested into this item maybe its not really worth $5,000.

I mean if it came in a package deal and youve already made more than a fare share of money maybe $2,000 is reasonable?

Just tossing out ideas/thoughts. Heck maybe you paid $5,000 for the item?

Thanx Ryan all input helps, Im going to do ok regardless I just dont want to lose potential money. I'm not working right now, just focusing on college. and any money I can generate helps out. At the same time I'm not out to rip anyone off either, I figure if everybody walks away feeling like they got a deal then its all good. Dont need bad karma in my life =)
