Should listings include the age of the item?

Who are so-called "flippers" harming? Are "they" inflating prices or somehow hoarding rare gear? No, due to readily available market info they can't. "They" do however provide a "feel good" benefit to Serious Audiophiles who are insecure enough to need to invent a less worthy sub group of "people who often sell things to other people and maybe make money from the transaction." The need to establish one's self as a "Taste Meister" based on hanging on to your precious hifi because you like it seems silly...I've owned certain vintage guitars or amps for 40 years or more, or newer hifi things I found didn't suit my tastes, and from time to time wanted to move a few on to somebody else to fund something different for myself...some things have surprising "market based" increased value, and man did those guitars become pricey! YEAH. However, the new owner is likely happy happy happy. Nothing is sacred and the "Flippers" keep the FREE market supplied with things...although my taste and hands-on musical skills do actually make MY gear opinions Extremely Important...so there's that. With so many variables in used hifi gear market there is no specific or even general "bottom" to be falling out.

I think we should call these people "flippists" and the items they sell is "flippage." And further, this is nothing to be flippant about lest I flip out or get flipped off. Also, I think Bill is risking becoming an "unpure hobbiest" or "quasi audiophile" and either condition could be difficult to diagnose and/or treat.

Flippadelic!

For the record I am not a merely a Wolf, I am a Garcia. And the good news in "flipophelia" (has that one been used yet?) is that the reasonably careful buyer can put together an amazing sounding rig relatively VERY inexpensively using review/opinion vetted stuff.

Offbeat!
