I agree...I kind of dropped it and ran on this post. It actually was written while in the clutches of an Ambien induced state.
That being said although I misused They're (which seemed to infuriate some of you) what I will say is that what I was "exactly bitching about" was Audiogon's new listing rules that require using their new pay system or Pay Pal only to list here on the site or be a business member. In other words individuals can't log in and post a listing and pay with a CC nor can the seller accept any other form of payment i.e. cash, check, cod or CC (if so equipped). So I feel strongly that AGon taking away the simplicity of buying/selling as an individual has most certainly had a negative consequence on buying and selling. There used to be 2-3 pages of Bryston Gear now just 2/3rds, the same with Audio Research as well as a few other "big" name sellers here. Most of the ads are now placed by one pay dealers which in itself is fine (I have purchased many items from resellers here) but the individual is being clearly pushed out unless they want to sign up (and pay for) dealer status.
