I agree!!! WE should have known WE would have these type problems when WE let the lower classes participate. Some of them actually work for their money!!! Can you Imagine!!! They are al;ways whining about high prices and wanting value for money and truth in the ads. They even keep their equipment for months and sometimes years without upgrading. Hell, I even saw one of those type members shopping at Best Buy!!! (I just happened to be passing by, of course I didn't enter) High-end audio is going to hell fast. WE have to be more selective.
Premium membership
Would you pay for a premium membership or gold membership type subscription here ?? This type of system where selling items to these type membership only persons would be available as well as other services. This I think would keep the non payers who commit to making a purchase from being a nuisance to members selling. These defunct payment type of people would most likely not buy into a membership, and if they wanted to buy an item from a paying membership person that they would have to pay a non refundable fee to Audiogon to buy something from a paying member trying to sell an item.
