European Audiogon?


We are asking all Audiogon members who are located in Europe or transplanted Europeans to offer their opinion as to the desirability and or viability of starting a European Audiogon. The question foremost in our minds is whether this should be a separate site or an adjunct to the existing Audiogon. For instance at our existing site one might click on a national flag to see a translation and separate listings for the EU. Which languages would be appropriate to add? Are we missing a significant group of audiophiles by being English only? How much of an advantage is it to just ship within the EU? These are just a sampling of questions. We are confident that the Europeans out there can and will take us to school on this subject. Our thanks in advance to all who take their time to share their knowledge and opinions with us.

For the market I think is not a big advantage, since the cheaper stuff are located in Usa or even in Asia.
For the forums, suggestions or simply to create discussions in each country with original language, yes, I think could be interesting. A lot of people don't speak a good English (me too !) so Audiogon could be a great start for domestic discussions. Just i miei 2 centesimi ;-)
Just to make another example... How much costs a Thiel CS 7.2 in Italy ??? Oh, no problem, only 26.650 euros, about 32.000 USD, a real bargain !
