Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?

 

I've been scanning used gear for a while trying to look for an amplifier and a line stage pre-amplifier. To me it seems like quality higher end gear being made available is Limited.  Maybe it's a good thing that all this quality gear I'm looking for doesn't want to be sold .

I have never been able to find used cables that are what I'm looking for from transparent, cardas, ect,  or other worthwhile brands in the mid to upper price ranges. I guess people keep their old used cables in a box and don't even bother selling them . Maybe it follows that Quality used components sit on a shelf in someone's basement not being sold. It's tough giving up quality audio components even if you don't plan to use them and maybe keeping them around as back up or for a third listening room that never happens.

"So dealers take my trade-in and sell it to a company specializing in the sale of used gear? So that may explain things."

 

What would it explain as it would still get to market and be availble for those seeking it.  

"It seems with all the solid state gear we're saturating a limited market with used gear since this stuff lasts for Long time."

 

And yet here you have created a thread whinning about the lack of used gear for you to find. Which is it?

"A lot of life-changing events have happened since I started this epic thread so long ago. Adopted a dog and have become a philatelist."

Thread so long ago? 6 days since the start - yes a real eternity

Epic? epic” is an adjective that means something like “big, grandiose, extreme,” or “awesome.” It’s usually used for positive qualities, but it can also be employed to indicate intensity. Sorry your thread(s) don’t qualify for the use of the term.
