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?

Oh cmon people.
Now we are just being fricking STUPID here.
Give this crazy trash talk a rest unless you want this thread to vanish like others once the talk got loony!

Cant we all just get along...…..

Walls, masks and distance. Good times... Well, at least we can all get along here:) This is going to take a global effort, no doubt about that. I think that we as humans are hardwired to forget, or at least repress trauma. When this is over, the ones who will remember it and change their actions will be a small percentage of the population. Mainly those who have had a direct loss as a result of this. For the rest, it''l just remain a story "Remember when that Covid thing happened..." Perhaps this willful selective memory is a survival mechanism. It would be too difficult if one was to live with a truly active memory.
