Be nice to nOobs


I'm fairly new to good audio, and very new to Audiogon. What a great site! I looked at all the goodies, and thought, "This is a great way to try different stuff, sell it if I don't like it, and really listen to a wide range of gear until I decide what I like."

My problem is this: I've made several offers at full price, but in most cases never even received a reply. Is this normal, or is it maybe because I don't have a track record at A-gon? I've sent follow-up e-mails asking if the stuff is still available . . . and again gotten no answer.

I welcome any advice on what I'm doing wrong or could do better. I'm a noOb, but I'm a serious buyer, and getting tired of feeling "like chopped livah".

Regards,
David

The fact that you are not receiving a response from an Audiogon member for any offer, much less a full-priced one, should not make you feel special. There are a lot of rude buyers and sellers here on the Gon just as there are everywhere. Not having feedback might deter some folks but if you are paying by tried and true methods like Paypal or money order, most sellers shouldn't have a problem with the lack of feedback. Welcome and keep trying.
