Why so many "newer" Mac's for sale?


I can't be the only one who has noticed that there are a lot of newer pieces of McIntosh's being sold here on the 'Gon. Most of these amps/preamps are quite pricey to purchase, so I'm curious as to why these are coming up for sale so soon. I can understand the "older" stuff being offered for sale. Are the newer ones not that great? Or is it the old "never satisfied" issue coming into play. Just curious!

I wonder why I see so many Pass amps for sale as well. They probably have pretty big production runs compared with other high end, thus more product clearly more owners, more sellers. I agree with big Joe that it usually doesn't reflect on the quality but there is always a dud so if you see the same amp not brand, intuitively it makes you wonder (the 754 Big Joe) I can't comment on Macs new production but even used they sell very well for high prices. The vintage stuff which I have had and still covet somewhat has synergy with some of my stuff.
Having been a Meridian owner;I see a lot of the newer G series 4sale too.Re. the Pass ads,--- I see it being MANY dealer ads and the rest, maybe upgrading. I just think there have always been many Mac. ads. I'm here maybe 3xs a day,every day and I don't know what I 'm looking for and hope I'll recognize it,when I see it.
I'm noticing a trend here. A brief scan of the classifieds on Agon has turned up that owners of many brands are selling their gear due to some, if not all of the following reasons:

1) An upgrade is on the way
2) A baby is on the way
3) A pissed off wife is on the way
4) Death is on the way

Apparently there's some plague going around the audiophile world and I'd be careful about buying or selling your gear because apparently then your wife will get pregnant, then pissed off, and then you'll die. Sell at your own risk!
People flip equipment all the time I wouldn't be to concerned about it. If you like MAC equipment and are in the market I would consider it a buying oppurtunity.

I'm sure it is simple production #'s, they do pump out 50 amps vs. 5 amps to 90% of the other manufactures in their price range... Its the same with Klipsch, they are high production and have Many dealers so for a piece of gear that comes up every 2 months from somebody else will probably come up 2 times in one month for a mac. Or We are just Stupid and love to Lose money re-selling gear and never gain any more sound!!! Ha...
