HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
Market price is what a seller can get for the goods, not what that seller feels she/he should get for those goods.We should stop thinking about equipment as some sort of a safe investment and accept that our gear is worth close to nothing to most ...

HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
geoffkait,At this time of the year, there are many short-term-thinking heroes cutting through on the left. It really gets scary. Not to mention that bears are awake. Otherwise, as far as turning the steering wheel goes, it is as close as you will ... 
HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???
moto_man,From what I can see, kids ten years younger of his generation are not willing to spend anything on some audio equipment. Not even when given to them and installed in their room. No real interest there. They will not think twice about spen...
