Why so many Hegel's for sale?

while very very good pieces do show up more rarely on the used market than less good ones, to say they NEVER show up is overly simplistic and inaccurate

words like never, perfect, always, best are too absolute and extreme to describe most reality, unless you are dealing with immutable laws of physics or matter - often not applicable in the hifi world

audiophiles with money randomly trade away really great stuff often... always chasing something they THINK is better... a good portion of the time they are wrong... same with the luxury/enthusiast car market... some cars lovers just sequentially change cars from pure boredom, then they post on car forums how much they regret selling ’x’ car, wish they had it back

also, people get laid off, they get old, they get sick, they die... and their treasured pieces get sold off

The number of used units offered for sale depends, above all, on the size of the manufacturing company and their degree of market penetration.  B&W speakers are a good example; there are many others.  Paradoxically, then, this would, at least in part, be a sign of Hegel's success.

There are always more than a few Vandersteen speaker's for sale.
Does that mean they're lousy speakers?

Economics is a mind bendingly difficult subject to peer into. It’s defeated all but the very best of analytical minds such as Smith, Malthus, Marshall and Keynes.

Do NOT lump Adam Smith in with those losers, posers, and frauds. Smith joins von Mises with the Austrians and hard money economists who actually have a clue.

miller - your comment made me consider the parallels between high end hifi and economics

more parallels exist than what one might think:
-- there are unyielding data folks, against theorists and pragmatists
-- so much data trying to explain stuff, yet real events and changes occur largely due to psychology driving individual perceptions, and thus behaviors
-- at the end of the day, economics is an art form more than a science, qualitative dominates quantitative
