Used amateur radio gear

This video is produced from a USA perspective, but is probably universally true. 

Several factors have combined and this affecting used gear prices and this disrupts the whole amateur radio economy. 

In the USA licence numbers are up and attendance at major amateur radio gatherings is at an all-time high.

In my view the amateur radio hobby will be very different within 20 years.

USA License numbers are UP? Seriously wrong about that. It's been declining steadily since 2022, with a net loss of 38k since then. We're now seeing a net loss of 1000+ per month.
