Nature of the current used speaker market

What do you think of the current market for used speakers above the $6,000 price point?  It seems to me like the market is soft, really soft, since I keep seeing the same speakers posted for sale over and over again by the same seller.  And these are top flight speakers from solid manufacturers such as Focal, B&W, Rockport, Sonus Faber, etc.  Does this mean the number of audiophiles and audio enthusiasts is on the wane, or is there just a glut of used speakers for sale out there?

@tomic601 they were model 5s Probably retail was between $10.5 and $14K depending on the year. So the $6K asking price may have been a little high or on target. For my personal tastes, I don’t want a high end speaker (I am guessing they would be considered high end in most peoples opinion), that was altered in anyway. There is a pair of 5A’s for sale now and the guy grounded down the sub-woofer power amp so that he could get a larger AC plug in there. That's not what I want even for the price. Just Saying.
