Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?


Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

   Regarding the correlation between marketing phrases and being PC, why can’t people just tell it like it is? If I’m selling something I strive to be as honest as I can, if it has a light out or scratches, etc., I show them in pictures and words.
   Embellishing a turd still makes it a turd, albeit a very well described turd. I have bought many items on Audiogon and Audiomart and zi don’t know if I’m lucky or not but with the exception of UPS destroying a McIntosh tuner before I received it, all items have been perfect.
    Respect your fellow audiophiles and tell the truth.
