How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon?


One would think that with social distancing and shelter in place policies, there has never been a better time for upgrading and enjoying your audio system.   But is now the time to buy and sell?  The mass unemployment and economic distress accompanying the pandemic seems certain to undermine what is essentially a luxury market encompassing both gearheads and music lovers?  What effects on buying and selling audio gear — both short and long term — can we foresee?

So you all admit it is true, you were warned, and chose to dismiss the warnings- and are doing the same now all over again. A study in psychosis.
jetter-
A month ago no one really saw this hitting the U.S. like it did

Really? And yet TWO MONTHS AGO I was posting EXACTLY this would happen. So if no one really saw this coming either their head was buried deep in denial, or they never saw it because another brain dead denier went and had the post removed. Which they did. Over and over again.

We knew in early January all the required information anyone ever needed to know the outcome: People are contagious even without symptoms, and its deadly. That’s it.

By the end of January, a mere 2 weeks later, we also knew it was airborne and survives on surfaces for up to a week. Airborne means its in every exhaled breath. Combined with surfaces up to a week means every surface anywhere near an infected person becomes infected just by sitting there breathing.

This was all posted by me right here on this site. Where people saw fit to insult me no end, and the more factually accurate the post the faster they had it removed.

You can spout all kinds of absolute nonsense jetter and I will let it slide. But do not even try and say no one saw this coming. Lots of people did. We even told you all about it. You simply refused to listen.
