And it is.

But is it 'audio', Usenet or the the Internet generally? I also hooked up
to
a number of (digital) photography newsgroups and they are mostly silent
with
the few that do have some traffic usually getting less than a dozen posts
a
day.

Elsewhere, eBay is very flaccid these days with reams of identical
auctions
from traders (mostly Chinese) and no end of secondhand items getting no
bids
at all - it looks like in the UK, at least, used budget audio gear isn't
making money worth the hassle of packing it up and lugging it to the post
office!!

Probably because secondhand audio is generally vastly outperformed by more
recent and inexpensive gear.


I don't believe it is, once you get past the lowest quality (toy) items and
'classic' stuff (old Tannoys, for example) still makes good money.

(No such thing as a truly cheap, secondhand Sugden A21 amp, that's for
sure!)
