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?

All of us carry wounds from our childhood until now. Thinking deeply enough to sort them all out is deep, hard work. So, we patch together a normality that works and hopefully fits in society - and that’s the best we think we can do.

No telling how bad the crisis will be, and how far it will test our honor and humility. I’m hoping and praying I get through this with a sense of grace, caring for my own and others. 
It doesn’t really matter to me why or when, it just is. Past taking precautions, there is nothing left to do except deal with it.

I’m looking forward to a time when audio is our biggest concern.

I sincerely wish you all the best. Be safe and honorable.
