What is going on


The prices that sellers are asking for speakers and equipment is stupid.. What is going on?.. Is there no shame? 5 year old equipment and the asking price is 250.00 less than new retail price.. This can't just be me... Why buy used?.. I don't get it..

I don't lowball .. But asking price should be fair .. I seldom ask for something less than the asking price.. Maybe free shipping or split .. It just depends .. This is not whining .. It's an observation .. Been a member since 2000.. Have bought and sold lots of equipment ... On audio ton... Have met a lot of great people.. Maybe it's like someone else said..new folks .. I don't know .. 

I keep finding stuff at fair prices simply by casual looking around until something fits…just got a great REL sub for a second system that way, and can very easily ignore things I consider overpriced…you have to know the market, but any true audio freak should.
Well that could be an over-generalization. I advertised a 2 yr gold pair of Magico S5’s in premium gloss titanium in 9/10 condition on this site at 50% off retail, and all I heard were crickets. I sold the speakers on another website to a good buyer who knew the speakers. Seems there are plenty of genuine sellers, but not enough willing buyers around here..
