MSRP policy-


Does audiogon have any firm policy on how retail prices are listed? There is a piece now up with the retail price listed 700-800 over actual MSRP . . . and although this particular online, heavy volume seller has tons of positive feedback (and one neutral), my dealings with them (e-mail and phone but no transactions) leave me feeling that they would step on their mother’s head to move product.

seems to me that listing retail that much over reality is: a) fundamentally dishonest; and b) should be subject to reprimand by audiogon.

Seller can charge whatever buyer is willing to pay. If you think he is asking too much, don't buy from him and he will eventually mark the price down.
Dcisok, I thought you mean the seller jacked up the asking price by inflating the retail price. If he didn't, what difference does that make? No one is paying retail here anyway. The most important price is the one you pay. If you think the asking price is reasonable, I wouldn't worry about the retail price. Sometimes even the most reliable seller can make mistake.

The other issues you brought up are a different story. Transactions on Audiogon or any other auction site are "trust-me" based. If you feel the seller is untrustworthy due to elusive answer to your questions, don't buy from him.
