Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?


Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

   Regarding the correlation between marketing phrases and being PC, why can’t people just tell it like it is? If I’m selling something I strive to be as honest as I can, if it has a light out or scratches, etc., I show them in pictures and words.
   Embellishing a turd still makes it a turd, albeit a very well described turd. I have bought many items on Audiogon and Audiomart and zi don’t know if I’m lucky or not but with the exception of UPS destroying a McIntosh tuner before I received it, all items have been perfect.
    Respect your fellow audiophiles and tell the truth.   
Anyone ever notice how causally some can drop politically stupid statements, proven to be false, and just keep going like it’s okay?

And when someone points it out, they are accused of being political and have their posts removed?

Talk about cancel culture, snowflakes and victimization. It's all projection.

@schubert ,

Please try to understand real world economics. If you are able, try to see what these lockdowns have done to the future livelihoods of possibly billions of people worldwide.

Millions die every year and now millions more will die due to frenzied media fuelled covid over reaction.

Satan would definitely be on the side of the lockdown advocates. He wouldn’t even need to be a mathematician.


At least the British government have got their vaccine priorities right.


This priority list is as follows:

1 residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2 all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3 all those 75 years of age and over
4 all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals [footnote 1]
5 all those 65 years of age and over
6 all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7 all those 60 years of age and over
8 all those 55 years of age and over
9 all those 50 years of age and over

There was a merchant ship anchored in port that was not allowed to unload it's cargo during the black plague. The merchants kept complaining about loss of business until they finally unloaded the ship, killing the people of the city in the next few weeks. 

History does rhyme. Real world economics? Nice try.
