        It seems like the used market is completeliy dead right now in general. Word is people are scard about the economy and saving money. I'm trying to sell 3 things I thouht would sell and havent' gotten a nibble even. Not on ebay though, I don't use ebay because of the fees.

        Can you believe it. After a week of stupid low prices, 2 of my audio items sold today,. I guess there is a market if you price it low enough. Fees hurt and add up to about 25% but money in hand is worth more to me than sitting on stuff "hoping" it will fetch more some day.

        I need to sell my Final D8000 Pro as I don't use it much anymore, but I suspect I will have to have it below $2k to get it to move, maybe significantly so...

      Seems Erin likes the wiim amp ultra. I don't know, but I would rather trust my Yammy 310 for hundreds less.

        Can't deny the features though, reasonably proper subwoofer out and delay for the mains. You usually pay a lot more.

        That's common with chifi-style stuff, though- massive feature lists. It chops, it dices, it slices! I'd need a really good reason to go near a Wiim product at this point, I think.

        I run client, friend runs server, other remote clients on his server get 1080p. The fix was a router reboot. Now getting direct play 1080p. Wahoo!

        I mean, China is kind of the important one, especially for IEMs and portable gear. I do question, though, if it’s going to get implemented, given the massive staff necessary.

        Yes, we talked about this in February. And it got postponed. I still do not see how the USPS is going to collect all the tariffs. Packages will sit in the post office and lines will be insane.

        Microeconomics was one of *three* courses in college that were really important. I’m not going to pretend that *macroeconomics* makes sense.

        I would only caution people to separate: a policy tool (tariffs, free trade), timing, the specifics, and the administration (irrelevant). There are many possible positions, and I don’t have one.
