What's going on with the audio market?


Recent retail sales reports are very bad and I am hearing that sales for audio equipment have been nonexistent over the past few months.  I also see more dealers putting items up for sale here and on other outlets.  Even items that have traditionally sold quickly here are expiring without being sold. 

To what would you attribute the slowdown?  Have you changed your buying habits for audio equipment and, if so, why?

Dear all:(from Santiago,Chile)
excuse my english. I am a old surgeon,72, near retired,and I am in this crazy world since near 50 years, At this time,I knew a pretty Bang Olufsen receiver(B&O 1000) and a reel to reel Tandberg,valvular.  I was amazed a long time with my first stereo audition,and then beguin my concern for to buy all the not news Bang or Tandberg that I would see at the newspapers and now in ebay...
Nobody of my son like for his or her house this device...I have in the basement a room for personal audition,plenty of loudspeakers,old german valvular radios,transistors receivers,etc.
Y think that,I must not buy any new or used device¡¡¡¡¡
Thanks for yours input
