I agree with S7horton. This beta system has admirable intent but as a buyer and seller, I think it limits the personal negotiation and freedom that already exists in the system. I think it is good as a "suggested" form of transacting: I know I try to operate in a fashion similar to how this new system describes. But I do not want to be required to. Perhaps something more along the lines of a transaction based fedback system?
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.
