Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?


Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

Unfortunately the completely unnecessary lockdowns are going to do far, far more damage than the wu-flu alone ever could have.

Something smells fishy. Even with the vaccine rollout here in the UK, the authorities still want to elevate the restrictions in London. Some, especially those on the left even want to introduce another lockdown!

Even when it's clear that they didn't work!
Can't work and can't even be enforced.
When nothing was wrong with observing social distancing and good hygiene.

Something that has a death rate of less than 0.01%, and whose victims average age is 82.4?

Something that is needlessly preventing the treatment of other illnesses? I've heard of way more people dying from catching Covid in hospital than outside.

All of this needless destruction of businesses for what? 2021 will reveal just how much this scandemic scaremongering has affected the audio industry.

Meanwhile in other news, we're glad to report that no one has died of flu in 2020.
   Regarding the correlation between marketing phrases and being PC, why can’t people just tell it like it is? If I’m selling something I strive to be as honest as I can, if it has a light out or scratches, etc., I show them in pictures and words.
   Embellishing a turd still makes it a turd, albeit a very well described turd. I have bought many items on Audiogon and Audiomart and zi don’t know if I’m lucky or not but with the exception of UPS destroying a McIntosh tuner before I received it, all items have been perfect.
    Respect your fellow audiophiles and tell the truth.
