Impact of Tariffs on Audio Market

@goodlistening If you were well capitalized and a forward thinking business person you would have laid in stock orders for hi-fi gear to beat the tariffs. We all knew they were coming the moment Trump  announced. I did the same thing with Russian Tubes when Russia rolled the tanks into Ukraine.

The secondary market is going to boom and many smart sellers are taking advantage of the tariff’s and the uncertainty it brings to the uneducated consumer.

I for one am not a fan of the tariff’s I understand goal and I resent the additional work it has created managing a portfolio of $250M in products (sales).

The other things few people want to acknowledge are the poor working conditions in some of the other countries that trade with USA (i.e., low wages, long hours, poor benefits, lack of safety controls, and other conditions that would not be tolerated here) as well as less stringent environmental requirements than we have in order to protect waterways, air, solid waste disposal sites, people, and the environment in general. The American consumer has conveniently overlooked these things in order to have the latest and greatest products at low prices. 

BTW - There are folks that complained about tariffs here on this site in 2022. I saw four threads that were still available for folks to read when I did a generalized search.

Laughable.

Or course you'd say something like that, being so easily triggered. This company you work for that is so ahead of everyone else, planning for the future, what's its name and what position do you hold in it? Everything you say about it reads like you're cutting and posting from a company perspective.

And, like others have asked, where the hell did Covid come from? You first post on that was incomprehensible. Anyone else notice that texas doesn't offer real counterpoints but just opportunistic moves to rationalize the childish, uniformed  impulses of his hero?

All the best,
