Default Does price matter anymore?

In the past couple of months, my already-poor sales of used electronics
has dropped right through the floor. Absolutely nothing is selling anymore.
I'm going to lower my prices even more in an attempt to get rid of my stock,
but it occurred to me that maybe it doesn't really matter. Perhaps consumers
are so determined to buy new, that they'll ignore even the best bargains on
used electronics. A fellow tech I recently talked to, is now trying to sell
off his 27" stereo sets for just $75 - and he still can't get rid of them.
Even folks at charities like the Salvation Army are getting picky about the
sets they take FOR FREE. Well, at least there's one guy who will always take
my stuff - he comes by once a week with his big white truck.....
I thought things were bad last year, but it seems like the writing is
really on the wall now. Oh for another job, so I could just dump my stuff
and move on to something better.
