Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?


I've tried to sell my 334s without luck, and I've been watching others have similar problems. The used Levinson market was so hot a couple of years ago. What gives?

Where have you been trying to sell the amp? Can't find an ad under your user name here....

The high-end market has taken a dump over the last couple of years. Simply, people are more careful with their disposable income (or disposable income has been reduced in many cases). Hobbies are the first things to go.

Also, many times the private sellers do not respond to the changes in the market as quick as the dealers.... I understand that it may hurt that the price you can get now is 1/2 of what you paid used only a couple of years ago.
The audiogon web site redesign launched this year had a lot of issues it would seem. If audiogon has collapsed this year, that is a likely factor. Hopefully agon will recover.

LEvinson used to be the cats meow of high end audio performance wise. Prices reflected that. Both LEvinson the company and markets have changed. Others have caught up and some may offer better value. Prices reflect that I would assume.

Also I note that there is not a lot of buzz about Levinson products these days on Agon it seems compared to others. Maybe there is potential there that might help generate new/more interest?
Bravo Trelja. I have to agree. Anyone who watches this stuff know exactly what has happened..
Pity.
More cannot be said about that particular topic.
And I also agree with the first two responses...
I wonder if one of the reasons for slowness in the market for Levinson amps, aside from the situation on Agon, is growing recognition that there are "two Levinsons" -- the equipment Mark Levinson actually designed himself, and the stuff designed and sold after he sold the company. In many cases, it takes a lot of effort to sort out which is which, and most folks probably don't want to invest the effort. And it's been so long since he had any association with the name that I suspect virtually all the cache is gone.
First three got it right. (how often does that happen?) Surprised Trelja's post got through.
