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?

I attended both AXPONA and RMAF this year, and I would agree that the majority of attendees appeared to be 60+.  At RMAF, I did run into a good number of guys who were 40-ish and seemed to have an ample supply of money to own such speakers as Sonus Faber Stradivari.  But their frequency of such purchases is not very high.  Man, I would sure hate to be a dealer trying to sell high end in this market.
