What's going on with the audio market?


Recent retail sales reports are very bad and I am hearing that sales for audio equipment have been nonexistent over the past few months.  I also see more dealers putting items up for sale here and on other outlets.  Even items that have traditionally sold quickly here are expiring without being sold. 

To what would you attribute the slowdown?  Have you changed your buying habits for audio equipment and, if so, why?

Hence the MkII dinner bells. "Come and get it!"

What I don't fully understand is how fragile the used market in the wake of audiogon changes. It appears to me the trading is way down; I have to wait forever to a particular item to be listed on any site.
