Am I going crazy or?

I've been thinking about this for awhile now- I see many things for sale on agon. Some are reasonably priced, some priced to cheap ( those go quickly ) and some things priced for more than anyone will ever pay. I guess the folks that get me are those that over price, and refuse offers. I watch their adds go out after the 33 days. And then some list the add again at the same price. I find this interesting. I know I would not expect them to sell to a low baller. However I wonder why they can't take a hint. The worth of something for sale is determined not, by what the seller feels it is worth, but rather by what the market is willing to pay. And for sure we are now in a buyers market virtually on anything.

What drives me crazy are these manufacturers that post the same exact ad every 7 days. Just check some of the accessories ads, it's work just sifting through them...

Mrtennis, I'm starting to feel better. Yes I care what other audiophiles think & do even if it doesn't always make sense which would include your thoughts as well. Cmon now, don't you feel better posting here?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Now I know I am going crazy! I just had a thought- If perhaps someone thinks this thread is nonsense. Then if they post in this thread, are they participating in the nonsense? Well, just a thought.

Anyway I made my point. Some folks sell to high, some to low. Some I don't think bother ro see what things are selling for before listing. But I sure whish they would read this thread. Yeah some dealers drive me crazy with their adds every week as well!

Oh and I have found if a thread gets to serious agon shuts it down. I once started a thread called " Is high end audio dying? " It got quite serious and was gaining ground on the ever popular thread " preamp deal of the century " In fact it would have passed that thread. But things got to hot and agon made the thread mysteriously dissappear. BTW, many high end audio dealers have gone out of business since that thread in 2003. So my hunch was write.

So now I write these silly little threads so I can stay under the agon radar.
