Parker & Ron (and the HTF membership):
Another successful year in Software/Hardware for Trade/Sale.
In 2005, 468 successful trades were reported and recorded with only one "bad trader" added to the list.
I'm surprised by one thing, however. In 2004, 1054 good trades were recorded on the GTL...meaning that the number of trades were cut in half!
I wonder why there would be such a dramatic drop. Any thoughts?
Consumers more cautious in their buying habits and thus with less inventory to trade/sell? Prices dropping to the point where people aren't looking to save on the secondary market? Or, maybe prices have dropped to the point where DVD owners don't think its worth the effort to try and recoup $$$ by selling off unwanted inventory?
Recent weeks on the Software for Trade/Sale page have been noticeably scarce with major "For Sale/For Trade" threads.
January 2006 has, so far, seen only 27 reported good trades. If those numbers were to hold true for the entire year that would mean just 324 trades for 2006!
