It would be nice to know if someones feedback is due to sale of many low priced items. If your positive 150 feedback is the result of selling 50 $5-$10 tubes or cartridge brushes, it tells me little about trusting you with a $1,500 purchase. You can run up great feedback pretty easily. I also look at how long someone has been at audiogon.
Also, flaking on a deal is bad form, you should be sure you want to follow through before committing and waisting a sellers time. Maybe a 24 hour buyer's remorse rule might be ok, but bad feedback should be the result if you promise to buy and back out...especially if you flake and never return emails or phone calls. This just happened to me on a speaker deal and I am reluctant to leave negative, but other members should know.
