I have lots of experience on this site and my experience is, for the most part, it's true.
Now this is just idle speculation, but my sense is that those that can afford luxury goods are working long hours to do so and hence have less time to spend using them. Doctors, lawyers, accountants. Kids, the sandwich generation, other hobbies, they all comes into play.
My sense is that most of these folks are more educated, even if I am not, so they probably don't smoke, or cook meth in their listening rooms.
Then again, the buyer here is more sophisticated, as well - except myself, as we have already learned - and so I think that most of the high mileage gear gets funneled to e-bay, or dealer trade ins, or even Craigslist.
