Why so many Hegel's for sale?

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

@jjss49,

’so much data trying to explain stuff, yet real events and changes occur largely due to psychology driving individual perceptions, and thus behaviors’


Yes, the psychology of consumer (or investor) behaviour is the unpredictable element liable to thwart the most careful of predictions.

If we could guess which products will be the most desirable this time next year, it would be fairly easy to get rich, wouldn’t it?


Then there's always the mysterious 'X factor'.

I wouldn't like to even think what Covid 19 has done to investment plans worldwide.
