Opinions on the current market

I’ve been reading extensively, trying to narrow down the best option for a tube pre to add to my system. The nature of the hobby is such that I expect to try a few different options, so I’m curious about people’s opinions on the market right now. Figuring I’ll have to resell whatever i try, I’d like to ‘buy right’ now. I’m not by nature an equipment flipper, but there are just too many possible options to expect to get it right first time. Anyone else looking at prices now, with informed opinions of whether the market is good or not for a buyer?

Markets are always good for buyers. And sellers. Of course they are- they're markets! That's the beauty- buyer and seller, both have to agree its good or its no sale. 

Now if your question is can you get a good price, well that depends. Are you a good buyer?

As good of a time as any you just always have to find the right deal.

I would say yes...... IF you are good buyer it's probably a better market than usual.

People are scared to buy now and for good reason. If you are comfortable buying I'm sure you can get a great deal if you look around.

Dealers are hurting...especially Mom+Pop Brick and Mortar stores that dont have Online Sales and pay rent/lease every month. Its a great time to ask for 20-30% off MSRP if you have cash in hand.
