I have been a dealer for Jolida / Black Ice Audio gear for 15 years. Sales have been on the decline for 5 or 6 years. For the past 6 months or so sales have been almost 0. If I am not selling any gear then the other dealers are not selling either. Audio gear sales are down as sales are down for almost all durable goods. Money is tight. Also, today one can buy a very decent amp for $600 - Yamaha, Marantz, Denon, Onkyo. All built to last years. Get one of these and some good speakers and almost anyone would be satisfied. And one can buy a decent set of speakers new for 2k or less.
What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
The heading says it all!! What do you guys think is the reason that the sales in the used high end market have gone soft??
Prices too high? Economy too slow?? Stock market too volatile?? Something else??
