"The wishlist is dead"

I have managed to get a hold of the most important and rare cds in the gothic country genre. Nevertheless, there are still a couple of cds that eludes me. I practise several methods. The first method is systematic and random trawling. The second method is monitoring through wantlists, wishlists and saved searches. The third method is just contacting, stalking and harassing people. Wishlists (or wantlists) in particular seems to have become an obsolete method. The cds are just names on a list, year after year. They never come up for sale any more. Of course, the difficulty level is already high: limited editions, small markets and self-released albums. The wishlist is dead. At least, when it comes to finding cds. I don't have an unambigious explanation. But, I have some theories. First, cds are drying up. Very few cds are manufactured and sold today. However, 95 percent of the cds I'm interested in were released between 2001-2010. Second, wishlists may have become outdated and irrelevant. Other tools may have replaced wishlists. I can't find any support that ChatGPT or MS copilot or some other figment have taken over. In theory, the wishlists still retains its function of bringing buyers and seller together. Third, a new point of equlibrium has been established. The cds are still out there, but stored in cardboxes in people's closets. They are kept there for nostalgic reasons (which I respect) or idleness (which I don't respect). The owners don't have the strength or energy to put them out for sale. I will believe this theory until it inevitably gets confirmed. It's only a matter of time. In economic theory, equilibrium price emerges when the consumers demand (Qd) matches the sellers supply (Qs), Qd = Qs. The new equilibrium formula is Qd = Qs + i, where i is an idleness component.
