MY statement was not about artificially boosted buy/sell count. (though I can see it might be a concern to some)My comment was those folks are not 'enthusiasts', they are retail resellers. No matter how much they might protest that they only do it to pay for their hobby (of buying and selling audio gear?).I know it used to be folks selling were mostly folks selling their OWN person gear, that they used for years. Now, most gear is flipped. bought sold bought sold faster than a pancake is flipped by those guys.
And then all the dealers. I have zero complaint against dealers selling as dealers. Adds to the vast assortment of gear. The only thing that could be said is so many dealers gives the flippers a big opportunity to keep their prices really high.
