I don't understand what the problem is. Expanse has been sitting in its case since October pretty much unused. I see other adds in the EU coming and going but mine is just silent. Does anyone see any issue with my add?

The ad shows up fine :). It's a pretty big investment!

I've looked at your ad and considered it a few times, personally.

No, it's perfectly visible. Was the same story with my Dave for a few months.

Had a few sales like this also. My conclusion:

1. Buyer's market right now. Things are barely moving because of economics, and when they do, they have to be priced quite aggressively.
2. Fickle market. I couldn't help but notice the rapid devaluation of certain headphones/DAPs over the last year or so (Meze Liric is one example, Fiio M17 is another). It seems to especially happen when a semi-popular/hyped headphone is released, people buy in a surge, try for a month, and then move on to the next trending headphone/DAP/IEM etc. The result is that the market is saturated with that one model for a few months. My experience is that if you don't sell almost immediately after release, the sale tends to get caught up in the wave. Even ZMF headphones, which were once renowned for retaining value on 2nd hand market, have taken a hit.

That's my experience in any case.

Also - GLWS!

Saw that myself a few times - great amp, great price! If I wasn't already overloaded with amps, I may have been interested in buying again. I hope you get a sale - it's really a fantastic and overlooked amp especially for the price (to say nothing of certain amps that are currently retailing for 8k!).

Well, this is unfortunately the case when people have a hobby of spending money rather than music, and accidentally end up in buying headphones in a very uninformed way.

I bought the Expanse to have an open back Stealth, which is my favorite HP, but the tuning is slightly different and it is more isolating than I prefer for an open back. I guess I just need to wait...

M17: Gladly keeping it as my endgame, without any itch for any upgrade.
