Bloody hoarders keeping second hand prices up
I rarely sell anything mainly because my view of what something is worth does not tally with what "the market" thinks... Personally I judge quality and value by performance and working condition... others seem to have an obsession with stuff not having any scratches or blemishes or dents, ie aesthetics, which I care very little for. I ain't prepared to sell an amp theoretically worth £120, which I have checked out and given a basic service, for only £50 merely because it's got a big scratch on the top of the case. It makes zero difference to it's SQ, reliability, longevity etc. I realise of course that like king Canute one man cannot stop the tide which is "the market" and therefore choose, generally, not to sell anything.... Other than when "needs must" of course.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
