From what I have seen Agon has been primarily taken over by dealers and professional sellers-buyers. Not nearly as many private sellers on here as there used to be but I'm assuming that's in part due to the prices they charge for adds now. US Audio mart- Canuck Audiomart- UK Audiomart seems to have more private sellers still. Ebay is for dreamers and professional sellers IMO.
I am afraid I would have to respectfully completely disagree on your eBay assessment tbh.

I have been using ebay for over 20 years, since before they even had pictures and yes it has evolved and become much more expensive to sell but look at the potential customer base!

I still see a LOT of private sellers, especially in the audio and pro audio side and have bought and sold to many like minded enthusiasts over the years and still of late.

Do I like paying 10% commission? Of course not but if the alternative is that or it sits and grows mold in my room then it will have to do.

Yes the whole hifi market is stagnant but it does appear to be worse right here than anywhere else right now.

Just my 3 cents.....

In response to your post I can say a resounding YES, and a possible NO.

To explain.

If you have gear from the old regime then yes you are going to suffer large losses selling now ( tell me about it) and its slow and painful and definitely not a chop and change market any longer.

However if you now own gear you bought in the new regime at lot lower cost then it is still feasible to do the flip flop of trying gear out. The cost of entry is much lower so the cost of you selling is much lower and the loss a lot lower. So its potentially still doable.

Its absolutely a buyers market for sure.
Agreed. But the $15,000 as new speakers I purchased for $6000 shipped recently would take forever to sell ,......if at all. Yes we buy cheap today, but we don’t sell.......relist, relist, relist........

Reasonably priced cables sell today. Vintage sells today. Tweaks sell today.  DIY is in and hot. Reasonably priced high value gear from companies such as Tekton and Ifi will always sell.  The rest....well it is tough going. 
Yes fair priced cables still sell,just made first Agon sale in some time today, and it was very fairly priced interconnect pair.
But at least a new owner is getting a great deal.
