Audiogon Classifieds will have a new feature


Audiogon has always valued the feedback we get from our members. The more important the topic, the more essential this feedback is to us. Thus, we are extending an invitation to our members to use our new Offer System in its current Beta form.

We have prepared a special Test Area where you may post listings (for free), submit offers on those listings, and manage these activities in a special MyPage. These listings will only be visible in the Test Area.

Before commencing, we ask that you click on the following link:
Offer System Overview

After having read our Overview you will have an idea of our goals. Please take a look around and then post ads, submit offers, etc. After gaining some experience with the new system we would like to receive your feedback.

Testing Links:
Post a Test Classified
View Test Ads (make offers)
Test MyPage (manage offers)

Please feel free to post any feedback in this thread or send it to us directly via email .

Thank you,
Audiogon Management

I am disappointed to see that we are descending to the depths of lawyer talk and points of contract law. We are not talking real estate here. While I only have a small number of transactions in the system, I've found that works quite well. Like S7horton, I too am guilty of making an offer I later withdrew. I offered the seller compensation for his trouble and he declined. His comment: "You're off the hook. This is a crazy hobby". I've found Audiogon tends to be somewhat anal - in spite of the fact that I have made about a dozen postings, everything I submit still has to go through moderator approval. What's up with that?
Lousyreeds1 I am truly sorry that you got screwed. It diminishes a wonderful resource for us all. If everything is based on a system that quantifies our reputation, there will always be people who will try to head-fake (hockey term-don't get me started) the system and consider one transaction as the cost of a score. The suggested upgrade still depends on the online feedback. How can we deal with the scammers?
