Ever sent someone $3,000 for an amp and then spent four days refreshing your inbox, wondering if you just got scammed? That's why I built this.
I'm Lukas, founder of SPKRS (https://spkrs.org), a marketplace built specifically for used and new hi-fi gear.
Here's what that actually means for you:
- Your money isn't gone the second you hit send. Payment sits in escrow until you've confirmed the gear showed up as described.
- Every seller passes identity verification before anything they list goes live. Not just a username and a photo.
- Real specs on every listing: sensitivity, impedance, amp pairing. Not a price and a blurry photo.
- Built for hi-fi specifically, not bolted onto a general classifieds site. Speakers, amps, DACs, turntables, headphones, all searchable by spec.
- About 4,700 listings live right now.
Why I built it: a friend of mine, Cameron, kept getting burned buying gear online, paying a stranger and hoping it showed up as described with no real way to do anything if it didn't. He brought it up enough times that I built the fix.
