HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

Audio products age....to dysfunction and minimal value.  Tube heat damages things. Caps age out..  Resistors crack.  Speaker composition ages.  I will buy great older equipment  IF it  is cheap enough to justify the parts and time for eventual needed restoration. 
But the state of the art of new "cheaper high end" ( not talking mass crap) really is great for the money. There really IS tech progress for the money. Just like with cars. So unless you just LOVE the old mojo of an old McIntosh (or Porsch/GTO), and this is a very tiny group at least with the bucks,  the prices aked just do not compute. Like others say, it is just the market.
Oh yes. The ridiculous claims and pseudo science are part of what has turned off potential newer younger audiophiles. I talk to them a lot in my job and hobby life. Comes home to roost.

May be a down trend in selling audio gear. However there will always be a market for mint vintage gear especially thr hi end or impossible stuff to find. A case in point would be the TOTL Yamaha CR 3020 Receiver at 170 wpc or the technics sa 1000 Receiver 330 wpc as well as the Kenwood supreme seperates  700 M amp 170 wpc and thr 700 C preamp. I believe the market especially for the hi wattage monster receivers will always be there. Oh yes forgot the Pioneer Sx 1980 and the Sansui 33000 G Receiver 

Maybe speaking for myself but I am not talking about older " vintage" gear at all.
I am seeing equipment that is less than 4 months old not even getting a look in at 40% of new. Crazy.
Its a great time to be a buyer and I am also a very shrewd shopper so I know I did not pay over the odds for anything I have. But in the last couple months it has tanked so badly I truly think is not worth listing anything here any more.
Audiogon latest site rehash may have adversely effected sales but it is same on eBay and audiomart for hifi.

I also agree with the pricing comments above. I look at the ads at least once a week to see what is new. I see way too many sellers milking it for all it's worth. If I am not going to get a decent discount, I just look for the best deal I can get and buy new. 

I definitely don't believe that stereo is dying. People have loved music since music first started being performed. There's just not many alternatives to stereo. You could watch music live, but concerts are few and far between, and have you seen the price of tickets these days?
