anyone concerned with consumer demand almost to nothing

Sorry I bought a new house a few months ago, got rid of my crt televisions... and now have 2 lcds. Just upgraded my PC which should last well over a year. Cars are running good.. there are just no big new purchases I need to make. Don't blame me!
 
I wonder why prices are not falling if there is no demand. I've got cash to spend but not at current prices.

A possibility is that the commodity producer needs to sell at the inflated price and not at the fair value price in order to meet his margins.

ie, the Lexus salesman only needs to sell 1 car while the used-car dealership next door needs to sell 10+ cars to meet the same profit margin.

Yeah, but is that cruise, time-share, or 18th hole dreamhouse next to a manmade lake in the desert really worth it?
It's okay to buy that Kuro now- the price is good.😛

well, i can't help you on that.

my opinion that "consumer demand almost to nothing" is based on aggregate information collected from just my reading of materials either printed on paper or on the internet. i provided two reputable links above for starters.

My opinion that you're an idiot is based on your posts in this thread; specifically you unfamiliarity with what "nothing" means. You act as if our economy has completely disintegrated because spending dropped a few percent from last year. 😕
