Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market?

....if the weather co-operates, the bicycle's tires hold up, the SPAM is edible...

Hello,
I just ordered some new gear. I found out that Harmon who owns Revel, ML, Arcam, JBL and a few others are raising their prices 10% October 1st. They are not the only ones. All the companies are raising or have raised their prices. This will definitely have an impact on the used market. If you have been holding out on getting certain gear especially new gear you might want to pull out your credit card. 10% is a big jump and this might not be the end due to the cost of raw goods. It’s time to take some of that savings and pull the trigger before you get priced out. If you need any gear in the Chicagoland area this store has a try before you buy policy. https://holmaudio.com/
They just got in the brand new PSB T600 and B600 speakers. These are great value for money speakers and the fit and finish is amazing. 

I’m just noticing better quality inventory lately than over the past year- many Pass, Vac, Aesthetix, Coda, etc. Last year it was one or two questionable amps and some McIntosh collectibles at 300% over value.  
So some are saying these are the result of people trading up when their new inventory came in. I’d imaging a small percent from downsizing after fed money tightened up. I hear you with the traditional fall market too-agree completely. Tubes are also a fall favorite to heat things up so typically more SS comes up.

Good luck to all, feeling blessed through these odd times.

There's definitely been a push to get gear up on agon just this past week. I've been seeing inventory that I particularly want showing up and I check often so things do look to being up for sale. 

The "preowned hifi" market is beginning to thrive again - it may be seasonal but I suspect that it is also a consequence of extensive delays in the product supply chain. The chip shortage is another phenomenon entirely and that may not abate for several years.
