It's been said before, but I'll say it again...

I'm continually surprised at the lack of common courtesy in Audiogon transactions. What happened to, "Hi, I'm interested in your..." or, "Would you accept..." Instead, it's "$900 shipped to Canada." End of email. I'm not one for excessive formality, but I think a little friendliness and complete sentences go a long way.

Once in a while I'll have a great exchange with another Audiogoner whether it leads to a sale or not, but this seems to be the exception rather than the rule. Aren't audiophiles supposed to be a friendly bunch?

Just a rant...

How about the reply's where the buyer doesn't even have the courtesy to give you their name?
It happens all the time. I can go through 3 or 4 emails before I find out. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think I should have to ask. Although Sometimes I have be forced to so.
When I respond, I like to start with "Hi Elmo" or what ever the name might be. Instead must begin with " Hi You"
(whoever you are)
I have never responded to an ad without signing my name to it. What happened to simple manners?
Good to finally get this off my chest...
