Some say it’s going to be worst than 1929 so we should get some amazing deals down the road...
If that scenario comes true being able to buy your neighbors stuff cheap is going to be the last thought or concern you'll have. Folks during the great depression had more character, ethics and grit than the vast majority of people today...remember how folks behaved over toilet paper? Hoping for a depression to be able to buy cheap audio gear...As if it would not affect you too in some fashion either directly or those you care about.
Be careful what you wish for (somebody had to say it.)
