This may sound a bit silly but why are so many


Audio Research Ref 40's for sale.Four in the last month and a half.If the preamp is good as they say and I'm sure it is,why would anyone be willing to take a 40-45% hit on a product that competes with the best of them.Just curious as to what others think.

Your answer can be found by using the "search" function on the forum page. Use the search query- why so many - You will see that this question gets asked hundreds of times and the answers are always the same.

Why are there so many Toyota's and Honda's for sale? I thought that they were well made vehicles.

Why are there so many Apple iPhone 4s for sale? Upgraditis maybe? Audiophile nervousa? Chasing the Merry-go-round?

Your guess will be as good as anyone elses.

Without people constantly buying and selling this site would evaporate.
You seem to be assuming they are buying these new, rather than buying used and selling for same price as purchase.
