Keynes was a member of the Bloomsbury group...sort of early 20th century hippies including Virginia Woolf, her sister Vanessa Bell, and other writers and artists. Cool. Also, used car prices went up as new cars started having trouble getting parts (electronics from Asia mostly). Has nothing to do with inflation being a cause, but the result is inflationary. Note that free markets always fluctuate and if you didn't know that you are living under a rock, and used bargains are still out there if you know what you're doing...also great new stuff from companies like Schiit and others are amazingly good for the money.
What's going on with the used audio gear market?
OK, maybe I am unrealistic but I've bought and sold audio gear for the past 25 years off and on for my personal use as I change out or upgrade. It seems that a reasonable expectation is around 50% of MSRP or somewhere close. That has been what I've always sold for and bought for. Now I see stuff priced at 80-90% of MSRP. I am talking about things that are not really statement products and can be a few years old and they want 80%. I just don't get it, this stuff for the most part depreciates rather quickly due to the advancement of technology. Is this a hold over from the Covid Inflation effect on supply and demand? I guess that supply and demand will eventually sort it out.
