Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...

I don’t consider 5 minutes and $10-$20 a major commitment. When I change gear in main system, I need to sell gear it replaced. When looking to make change out of curiosity in secondary system, then if I can’t sell it doesn’t matter. A few times I waited a year and then it sold   Even when it didn’t sell I got my $10 worth talking to other members 

"Patience is a Virtue".
 Especially when it comes to Ebay. I sell tons of gear there. I buy tons of gear there as well. Man-o-man I wish I had known about this swap-meet! 
I believe I talked to "Lance" at the show a couple weeks back.
 May I come to a meeting to see what you guys are all about before plunking down my $70? Where do you hold your meetings? Are there snacks? Hee hee hee.
Lance seemed to lose interest in talking when he heard I was developing a "Line Source" type of system for market. I was wondering about that....
    By the way. Those "Guy's downstairs", that had the tables with all the vintage gear, that fix gear in Baltimore? Their OK, At any one time they have 25 to 40 pieces of gear from my collection. But again, "Patience is DEFINITELY, a Virtue with them!!!" But they can actually FIX them. Not  just another, "Swap a board" or  else it's, "Your amp is fried!" shop. They are actually apprenticing a few guys to keep vintage gear alive! And you should see their eye's light up when I bring in rare gear! So they are a bit better than just "OK", "IMHO".
     And "YES" I do have an Oppo-203 for sale!

I like to peruse the items on sale on Audiogon but...wow...is it my imagination or has the number of items being sold here decreased significantly?   It seems fewer items turn up than ever before when I search for certain brands.

I checked about two weeks ago.

95 cartridges on the gon

94 cartridges on canuck

78 Koetsus alone, on the ’Bay.

This is not difficult math, folks...

As you can see from the prior post, the only thing selling here, is the unexpectedly low priced stuff to the people who are waiting in the bushes to snipe as fast as they can. Not saying it’s a bad thing (I be sniper-ish myself, it’s how you get the good stuff at the right price), but the, other, the rest....the normal part (largest mass of seekers and sellers) that would normally be tied to it, to be as the bulk of the purchase scenarios --- has pretty well gone bye bye.

Something about auction and sales listing costs incurred and returns on said expenses, it somehow comes to mind....
