I am afraid I would have to respectfully completely disagree on your eBay assessment tbh.
I have been using ebay for over 20 years, since before they even had pictures and yes it has evolved and become much more expensive to sell but look at the potential customer base!
I still see a LOT of private sellers, especially in the audio and pro audio side and have bought and sold to many like minded enthusiasts over the years and still of late.
Do I like paying 10% commission? Of course not but if the alternative is that or it sits and grows mold in my room then it will have to do.
Yes the whole hifi market is stagnant but it does appear to be worse right here than anywhere else right now.
Just my 3 cents.....
