HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

To answer the question more directly though, I think the slowdown could be contributed to the baby boomers entering into retirement and being a bit more judicious with their spending.  I'm  a divorced 40 year old with a teenager and a tween and have made a few major purchases just recently.  I had left my system largely untouched for two years.  When I go to the audio shows the demographic is still by far the baby boomer bunch.  When I tell my contemporaries about my listening system and prices, they nearly fall over and need resuscitation.  They think I am nuts!  They think nirvana comes in the shape of a Bose soundbar.  

I do think that there is a younger (like in their twenties) that are now getting into the vinyl seen and are curious about getting a stereo setup.  I recently sold a set of speakers locally to a college student.  So there might be hope; if these young folks can get well paying jobs after university.

I sold my items, Zesto Andros Phono and Sanders Sound ESL II Amp, pretty quickly.  Within 4 or 5 days of my posting date.  I did have them priced right and accepted offers that were somewhat less than I wanted.  The fees on here are much higher than a few years ago!  I'm thinking Ebay might be cheaper now.

I had another item to sell, a preamp, but decided to trade it in for a new DAC.  I think the trade in credit was more generous then what I might be able to fetch on here due to the final value fees, shipping, insurance and Paypal fees.
