Why a dearth of some brands on the used market?

I have budgetary numbers I am comfortable with, typically based on what I may have paid for a product in the past that I want another of. When I see prices beyond what I deem reasonable, I pass, unless I am feely spunky that day and "lowball" someone.

As for many well-known cable brands being in abundance on the used market; are they marketed more than others and simply outnumber competitors and/or are they not satisfying enough to the owners who purchased them (based on the following or curiosity)?  

I sold some less expensive Purist cables very quickly as you pointed out and was happy to do so since they did not light my fire in any way. YMMV

I have never dabbled with Cardas, but you are right, they do not seem to be flooding the market. Maybe that's a sign they are keepers more often than not?

@bluethinker66-

 It did take some tweaking from my original purchases to get things "right" though.     

                                                Of course!

    One good aspect of buying cabling from known/reputable/highly regarded companies (aside from increased odds they will perform), is that they are so easily sold, on the global market.

        An easy half of the dozens of cables I've owned/auditioned (we're talking: over a few decades) were sold/shipped internationally.

I seem to see a lot of Transparent Audio stuff on the market. Don't know if people were trying it out and not happy with the cost/reward or if there's just so much of it out there that you're just going to naturally see more of it.

great post @bluethinker 

I run a lot of searches and have a pretty good idea. 

I know what's hard to find that I looked for, and I also looked at each company's revenue to be able to weight things. 

 I didn't do a spreadsheet so these are my impressions:

Cambridge Audio, NAD, Rotel, Parasound, Bryston - lots of good deals

Jolida - lots of on the used market

Hegel - very rigid price-wise

Similar story for the speakers, Klipsch, JBL, older B&W models everywhere.

LARSEN 9 speakers

the reviews are intriguing but have only a very limited NA  distribution and availability for this Swedish design and build floorstander .

based on the tech news and reviews , they may be a potential fix for crummy room issues because they are designed to be placed up against the walls.
