Why do some brands appear more often in the for sale forum?

[ahollowhd]

I'm curious about what other members think when they see a certain brand and/or model appear more frequently in the for sale forums?

Is it because there's just more of these particular brand/model in circulation or is it a statement about user satisfaction with a particular brand/model?

Thanks for your responses.

I think it's more a statement about the GAS of some TB'ers and their desire to constantly have the latest/greatest gear.

most of the stuff for sale is top notch gear and i'm always tempted. it's fun to wash, rinse, repeat on TB!!!

It's difficult to say how reflective the TB Classifieds are of the market-outside of TB.

This question is difficult to quantify since some brands are market leaders, some models are quickly discontinued, and sometimes sales occur due to a poor setup which a seller does not recognize, or otherwise take the time, or money to fix.

It's not all about price, quality of parts or workmanship, or supply & demand.

I think the TB stock is relatively unique. It is filled with high quality gear that people are simply moving to make room for the next thing. I know I have been guilty of it. For instance, I have sold on TB:

Avalon U5 (twice!)
Ampeg SVP-CL
Demeter VTBP-201S
Aguilar Tone Hammer

I would gladly own any one of these again. I just can't afford to own them all Some items get major hype before their release so there tends to be a lot of movement of that stuff. I don't think that is a reflection of quality at all, its just that there is more of it in the hands of impulse shoppers (like me

'cause some "speakers in a box with a mid hump" aren't worth the price.

+1, I'm running out of room for storage. Maybe it's time I hopped on to the class D bandwagon?
