What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.

There are Lamm hybrid monos, Rowland 8T, YBA Passion Integre and Lavardin integrateds, Dynaudio Contour and Confidence speakers,and that's only what I took a look at.
Too many choices, too much hesitation, no funds, not in the mood, summer time ?

This isn't going to be a popular answer but, too many FREE options to sell goods;. Craigslist and other sites ( I won't mention) are likely reducing the number of items on Audiogon.  I know some high-end audio dealers who only sell on EBay.  It seems the trusted feedback system would be enough to keep people buying on Audiogon, but people weigh the risk and buy/sell on Free listing sites.

Lets just say that it has become easier to buy with all the websites for high end today making buyers more uncertain of cost. You can add the fact maybe the buyers are an older crowd generation, the ones with money who are either passing away or just to old now to hear anything. Most of the people who buy from me are close if not in retirement. The cost of living put a hurt on everyone also where we are forced to buy our own medical insurance instead of saving for something we enjoy. Buying high end at one time was a choice now maybe it has become more of a selfish move with so many other needs.

Myself I will still buy the older gear, to me it is the best bang for your $.

Look who is talking with two posts history. North Koreans are said to be good at it too.
It is hardly free to sell on ebay. Many dealers and individuals put the same items both on ebay and on Audiogon at the same time, usually at higher price on ebay to cover higher fees.
There are plenty of items, though some stuff never shows up or sells quicker than I could see it.
