money getting tight?


I've been trying to sell some gear for what I thought were "steal" prices, and I'm getting little interest. I have checked auctions recently and seen that low reserves aren't getting met. What's up? Is the economy bad or is my experience/observation unusual?

It appears that your idea of 'steal' prices, and the potential buyer's idea of 'steal' prices, are not the same. The prices I saw are not what I would call a steal, in fact, they seem a little high to me. Not that I'm interested in any of those items. To me, a steal is getting a 9/10 preamp or amp for over 50% off MSRP, or cables for over 60% off. A smart shopper can get brand new from a dealer with warranty for 30% off, or even more sometimes. So 30-40% off of used is not a steal, in my book anyway.
