Sky HIGH fi

i don’t think folks who frequent this board and have been messing with hi end hifi for 20-30-40 years are their target market

from how they present themselves they are after relative newbies who are just getting into and understanding older hifi, and want some assurance of qc when buying used/’classic’ gear... same younger gen high earner folks who get into air cooled porsches and pay top dollar for cars and service due to lack of experience -- but have a great deal of ’want’ for the older cool stuff

Sort of worried folks like this are going to change the nature of the market, inserting themselves as speculative middlemen, which is pretty much what they are. If a whole layer of these folks get in, it's going to be harder to buy rarer pieces at a fair price because they will have aggressively scoured, snapped it up and then they flip it with some fancy copy they've written. No thanks.

i wouldn't lose sleep over this... there just isn't that much money in it
