Price increase


 Has anyone else noticed the price increase on used  B&W NauliLus speakers since the new B&W D3 speakers have come out?   They are asking more today  for the old NauliLus models that were made in the years 2001 to 2004 which is 14 to 16 years ago. The NauliLus 802 line was selling used four years ago for 3200.00 to 3800.00.  I think most sellers are trying to  up grade to the B&W D3 and this is why they have up the price on B&W  old models. But we have to think would I buy a 16 year old car and pay half the price for what it cost new ? I think not so why would we pay  such high prices for used audio gear this makes no sense at all unless we stop paying these  high prices it's just going to continue . After all ,All this audio gear is going to end up in the junk yard in the end just like  everything else .

The original N802 was a groundbreaking design with the boat tail cabinet and curvaceous polished Marlan head on top.  The speakers are still stylish 17 years later.  At the 5000.00 dollar price point they are still competitive with new speakers.  They also function really well in a combination stereo/home theatre setup.  Quality design and construction ensures lasting value just like a classic Porsche, BMW, or Ferrari.

So, you are saying that companies don't innovate anymore, use cheap parts, and prices should solely be based on the cost of parts used?

it's not clear to me how many listings are really "New Today".  Lots of repeats from yesterday or earlier.  

Many, if not most of those, seem to be dealers. If we could filter out the Ayon and Adona listings, the number of "new" listings might be quite small. 

"Nothing to see here, move along."
