Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment?


Hello, folks. I wonder if there is any objective data to show trends in the value of vintage and used audio equipment (high-end or otherwise)? Does Audiogon crunch their Blue Book numbers to extrapolate any mobility in prices, up or down? Do people see prices stable or rising/falling for equipment? Thanks!

Meters are definitely a selling feature.

How much would the sales of McIntosh decline if they ditched the meters and black glass. 50%?

PS. This may seem like a bit of a dig at McIntosh, but is more a comment on successful marketing campaigns.

How 'bout a Mac in pink to appeal to the Barbie crowd ?

Oh, Puleze......😬

I've had meters, LCD displays, all that....Mho, I like the R/T displays on my monitors.....rich beyond one's wildest deviations.... ;)

...subject was 'sposed to be 'vintage appreciation v. $'d....

(...and there's those who say I'm not focused....*sly sheesh* )

I’ve got blue meters, and it’s not a Mac. Best of both worlds.

kidding…I have nothing against Macs:)

To be on the level (cheap pun), I used to have a lil' LED box that would read VU & power at the amp output...and became obvious what mattered in 'play'....

Education is where it happens....])
