I enjoyed Al's story about Walt Bender being upset with Al's (over) pricing a piece of equipment. I'm pretty sure the reason Walt was upset was because Walt had a (bitterly criticized!) reputation for cherry-picking the listings before he published them (and then re-listing them for a small profit ;-) And, I'm just guessing (sic), that Walt wanted Al's gear for himself, but for less money . . . .
In addition to Audio Mart, my living in LA gave me access to the Sunday Los Angeles Times classified section which usually carried a pretty respectable selection of audio gear. Stereophile's classified section was also a good resource for private party listings all over the country, until the internet made it obsolete.
