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.

Old Tannoys stink !

They do?

Yes.


If that's your idea of 'good sound' you must have stopped
auditioning decent hi-fi over 30 years ago.

Don't beat me up - I ain't the one buying them!

They are laughable.

A great help to our balance of payments. We're selling them junk and they
are paying the big bucks. Works for me!

People collect antique guns too. But not to use.

The Colt 45 Automatic was first issued in 1911 - plenty of those still in

I was actually invited to join some 30 yrs ago.
