buyer beware of late


Did anyone else respond to the "unbeleavable" listings lately, like the B&W 800's for $3000 or the N802's for $3200...new members with no feedback. I received the message from Audiogon saying the members were "questionable" and not to do business with them. Same thing happened today with a listing for a Jadis integrated amp. I guess the only safe bet is to stay away if there's no feedback..but that doesn't do much for the legitiment new members trying to get established.

I got burned good on purchase of a turntable from someone a lot of you may know named Albert whose business advertises on A'Gon. I paid above the market going rate for the table and was aware of this. But this was based upon Albert putting in writing that unit was 6 to 7 years old. Coincidentally someone removed the serial # before shipping to me. But I had faith in what I was told and what Albert put in writing.

Less than a year later the unit required service and the manufacturer informed me that it's 20 years old. I email Albert several times and he does not even give the courtesy of ANY response.

Shameless.

A'Gon won't print my negative feedback, won't even acknowledge it. Likely won't print this.

I'm an honest seller and purchaser and should not be treated this way. My eyes are open much wider now but I still enjoy and believe in what A'Gon is trying to do.
