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

Steakster +1.  I read from many sources, just not faux.   It seems to me we are being gaslighted on the corona virus.  I saw some early warnings on Veterans Today back in Dec.  Now back on topic.  It seems to me that posters are becoming more vicious and nasty on various forums and sites.  NuPrime was attacked for suggesting we take care of each other, and might find some discounts on audio gear.  He was called a profiteer, even tho he did not raise prices nor offer any specials.  Take care. 

I am not seeing fire sales on audio gear.  I rarely see good gear really priced to move, even when people claim to really need cash.

the concern that some small manufacturers and retailers in audio may not survive the recession, that just began, seems entirely realistic.  

I'm guessing the 1% who didn't get nailed by the market decline aren't looking to buy audio gear in a down market.  The ones who did get killed sure aren't.      

Agon is prime reading. Thanks to all commentators. Just here to learn.

Where I am, our country has just moved to level 4(no unnecessary contact, schools close in two days etc)and I have noticed sudden depreciation in Hi-Fi gear.
