Oh where or where have all the buyers gone?


Has anyone noticed that NOTHING is selling around here anymore? Not just around here, but used audio in general is taking a big hit and there is a ton of merchandise that is for sale that never even gets a response.

I have put several items up for sale at very aggressive pricing and have had little or no replies from buyers. Sure the views are high, lots of lookers but all of the buyers have just disappeared. Am I imagining this or are others observing the same things?

I agree with much of Sdcampbell's post that part of the
current situation is due to the economy and in part to warmer weather.
I've had several items for sale on the 'Gon; and one or
two sold quickly and the others just languished - with little response. I think a lot simply has to do with the
type of equipment being sold. Better known brand names -
Audioquest, McIntosh, Krell, etc. seem to be selling fairly
well - but more esoteric equipment may sit for days on end.
Having a slow economy certainly doesn't help a lot, either.
Also, it is now May and warmer weather is already here
in some parts of the country. And for a lot of people that
means getting outdoors again, traveling to new places, and
lots of activities that don't necessarily include audio. But I suspect the situation will change as the summer months come to a close.
