I first noticed the flavor-of-the-month-resale-cycle about 5, 6 or was it 7 years ago. The product was the Bel Canto EVO "digital amp". The online press was mad for them and the "buzz" here and other places was furious full of hyperbole. Then, about 6 months down the road, "used" Bel Canto EVOs showed up for sale here on a daily basis. At first the prices were high as the ink on the reviews was still wet. Then, over the following 6 months, when the real "reviewers" of this hobby (you) began to chime in and suddenly, the Emperor was wearing a nice new robe! I even jumped in and in the end, I lost about $200 between the time I purchased one and sold it 3 months later. It was a good amp, but, as a comparison, the best "digital" amps of today could have killed the Bel Canto as soon as it arrived.
You see it all the time. Just look for the "hottly" pimped piece of gear this month and, like clock work, about 4-6 months down the road this place will be ripe with plenty of "used" ones. Once in a while, the product lives up to the hype. As of yet, I have not seen a glut of second hand Maggico products on the 'gon.
What products have you all seen in the after glow of rave reviews?? Thanks, John
