so no used equipment was around? no newspaper classifieds, no hobbyist newsletters with back page ads, no hobby mags with back page ads, no estate sales with the occasional jewel of a component, no . . . .?Sure there was but no where near the inventory/selection that is found on the likes of AudioGon.
Yes you could run an ad in your local paper and if the Newspaper was State wide you pay a substantially higher fee and run it State wide.
And of course Stereophile had a classified section in the back of the magazine. Not a big deal.
The only thing that even came close to AudioGon was a members only ad publication called Audio Mart, if my memory serves me right on the name. Great way to sell/buy used audio equipment. AudioGon eventually ran the ad publication out of business.
Bottom line I wouldn't be surprised if used sales of audio equipment far out numbers the sales of new audio equipment. And like it or not that has not only hurt the manufactures of high-end equipment but also has hurt B&M audio stores.
