"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em

I've been a member of our community for a little more than a year and a half and in that time I have seen a slow degradation of quality in the Classified Section of audiogon - particularly in regard to LP's. I know it's a "free" listing and maybe that's the problem. There are some audiophile listings of quality items but mostly it's just junk. I think it might be an idea to set some standards for these listings. Audiophile-quality records only or maybe near-mint listings only. I'm just tired of wading through scores of "crap" listings...if I want to do that I can always log on to eBay...

Ed has a point. A good point.

Too often I have gone to look at a used piece of gear only to find the idiot selling it owned a total of 6 CD's.
(All made of "gold pressed latinum" mind you....)

Many "audiophiles" have a lot in common with the car audio "SPL" boys. (You know the ones who can hit the highest DB's for bragging rights? For those of you that dont know, they play a sine wave with banks of amps and woofers. Whoever has the loudest BUZZZZ wins!)

How are audiophiles and SPL folks alike?
They have lost thier way. Forgotten what it is really about.
MUSIC!

(I need to get back to my 1969 crummy Dead tape now.)
