Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...

Elizabeth, that table is not for sale by just anyone, but by Arthur Salvatore, which should go a long way towards explaining the situation.

Kind of the “You kids get off my grass.” Audio reviewer, and that’s putting it gently.

I have a completely different perspective than the OP as I see the issue being exacerbated by market factors. The market is shrinking as more old, bald, guys die, and become deaf. It really wasn’t that vibrant of a market for the last twenty years or so and it is less so today.

Compound that with all of the junk being sold here. Items that simply have no currency, and what you have is a secondary market at a loggerheads.
