| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @grannyring You bring up a good point about most of the recordings. While it is true that most of the recordings are in many ways lacking, I would think there are enough that the hobby should have enough great content for some extended period. How... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley All of your points do little to address the fact that the change in the used HEA market has occurred recently. What accounts for this broad change? Why has the free market changed so drastically in such a short period?The old idea of 'fli... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Everything you said in your above post makes some sense. However, I personally have NEVER stated that HEA is dead. The industry is certainly changing and is certainly contracting, at least in comparison to what it was in its hey day. ( Pr... | |
| What is an excellent power cable? Might want to try Rob Fritz’s Audio Art cables. Great construction quality and a nice evenly balanced SQ. | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Last time I looked, this is a public forum. How smart would it really be to name names?To say that the cables that my a’phile friend sold for a fraction of the list price weren’t very well thought of may be true...or may not be. Question ... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Not sure where you are looking, but if it is on this site, there appears to be plenty of selection and 'inventory' available. While I totally agree with you that pricing is the number 1 determinant of how quickly something is going to sel... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @supertweak. Yours is the best post on this thread (and there are some great posts on this thread) that I have read and in my opinion, by a country mile!To say that I couldn’t agree with you more would be an understatement!I think you just summed ... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( While it may appear that the $10k/pair price point is ‘hot’ right now, somehow I doubt that holds true for used gear! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @clarinetmonster2 That is interesting. Not sure how you know this, but I have heard that the Magico A3 is currently back-ordered with a waiting list! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @tutetibiimperes. That’s all good and correct, question is whether this also applies to HEA? Since a lot of the new gear is edging towards pricing that makes most of these new luxury cars pale in comparison! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( jimman2, I agree with you that pricing is always a factor. OTOH, I have been told by several a’phile friends who have posted gear for sale that the ’only’ way to sell these days, is to basically ’give away’ stuff. Not sure what they consider a ’gi... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( It certainly seems that the “rediscovery” of vinyl has helped with bringing the younger crowd into the hobby. The physical media is a great way for young people to discover music and to alert them to the pleasures of collecting music. The next big... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( The move away from HEA to Home Theater is nothing new....so I don't believe this explains the current market in the used HEA area. The Home Theater market is no easy street either...several brick and mortar companies that I know who moved away fro... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Interesting post craigl59. I think Alon may have hit on a winning strategy. Even if he sells half of that number, then we are looking at close to $5M in sales. OTOH, I'm certain that there are a lot of manufacturer's and dealers who would prefer t... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Great post trelja. I still question the reason behind the more recent trend in the market...the one that has seemingly majorly softened the market for used HEA. Trying to sell some of the gear on portals like the one that I am typing on, has---at ... |
