How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon?

One would think that with social distancing and shelter in place policies, there has never been a better time for upgrading and enjoying your audio system.   But is now the time to buy and sell?  The mass unemployment and economic distress accompanying the pandemic seems certain to undermine what is essentially a luxury market encompassing both gearheads and music lovers?  What effects on buying and selling audio gear — both short and long term — can we foresee?

Stereo5, I am very sympathetic to what you are saying.  Many people in this hobby are also in the most threatened demographic.  It will be a hard slog.  I understand and wish you, and everyone in your situation, a healthy outcome.

I worry about my wife, kids, other family and friends.
I would think if you really cared instead of investing $10s of thousands in a stereo system you would have bought life insurance instead to insure their continued well being after your gone.

@stereo5 : We also are old, and we're having groceries delivered, to reduce contact with others. If that's available in your area, you might consider it.
