The market is normal. It's these crazies that have priced themselves out of the market. They are the losers here.....

If the Seller's ask and buyers buy the crazies are us who did not hoard when the marker was paying nothing. I wish I had every piece of Marantz tube gear that ever went through my hands for an average price of $200 per unit. On 9s, alone at today's prices I could be driving a Rolls.

Amen.... Wish I had bought a few more Citation I and II's back when I could get them for $300. Fortunately I have a Citation II in each system. Oy vey, all the nice little tube amps I have let go for a song after rebuilding them...
Maybe not a Rolls, but the mortgage would be lower....
For the tube gear I PASSED UP I could have retired on!
A friend of mine died in the mid 70's. His widow asked if I wanted all the junk (stereos) that he collected. Me being all of 17 at the time wanted a brand new solid state Marantz. Not a bunch of old tube stereos.
A week later, on the curb was a pile as tall as I was, was a pile of old tube stereos. I estimate that pile to be worth over a $100 grand. And the tubes and parts - another $100 grand.
It's a classic tale. If I had bought one D(not E) Jag available in the early 60s in the classified ads in Road & Track for 5 grand I'd be a millionaire. Ain't hind sight perfect?
People were putting ford Windsor V8's in E-Type Jags so the wouldn't have to deal with the high maintenance Jag engines. Can you imagine if you had scrapped a V12 ...
