Why not more dealers take trade ins?


Our hobby is definitely an amazing hobby! I know some of us would like to demo or probably purchase new gear but with the economic uncertainty this days, it could be a challenge. I know many audio sites represent a great outlet to save some hard earned$$. I want to help my dealer when I can because they also have employees and payroll responsibilities. My question is, why not more dealers accept trade ins? Wouldn’t that be a win win situation for dealers and audio enthusiasts/Audiophiles?

Ebay and Audiogon.

Honestly.  They are competing with them, and they'd rather you just go ahead and do the work yourself.  Not to mention covid is really slowing down everything, why should they double their stock of used goods??

I mean, of course this will be dealer/item dependent.
