Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??

The posts I don't understand are the ones that say "New, in box"...huh?

"I will share this with you that the best items I have received have this somewhere in their ad- "You will not be dissapointed"."

Thanks for the tip Mark, valuable info for buyers and sellers! I think another reason might be the fact that some components really don't work well in a given system, not that the product is bad but it just doesn't pan out for what ever reason. Often the owner may keep it around for a while with little use before finally deciding to sell. I myself have done that and it seems there may be hoarders among us that maybe want to clean out the closet especially in a depressed economy.

Huh especially used phono cartridges. Without going into deep details, multiply low-hundreds of hours by 10 to get the actuals.
I only buy new or retip contenders.

Audiopiles usually don't keep things long enough to use much.

Schubert,
So far I kept Totem Forest speakers over 10 years.
Can't say anything about light use though.
