Anyone else noticing inflation in used gear $?


While quite non-scientific, judging by recent prices and the speed at which quality gear is moving on audiogon there seems to be both some price inflation and a pickup in the velocity of money? The economy is pretty horrendous, however I'd wager that audiophiles tend to be the more affluent among the general population - if not always rational... I generally subscibe to the theory that we are entering a period of stagflation, with inflation in the things we "need" and deflation in the things we "want" - however what I'm seeing here leads me to believe that either I'm incorrect or we all really do need Krell amps.

This appears to be even more pronounced over the last few months. The prices sellers here are asking and getting is really surprising?
Used prices will inflate due to people not being able to afford to pay retail. Mortgage forclosures lead to rent skyrocketing.
