The vinyl revival won't last, so time is on the side of all the folks here who begrudge a little space for stuff that could be picked up in garbage bins, garage sales or carted away for free a short while ago. Come to think of it, most of the vinyl on sale here probably was picked up in that way not so long ago. Maybe, as I have suggested before, renaming the site "Audiogonvinyl" would attract the right crowd (yeah, the ones with ears, I hear from the gallery...) and vinyl sales could flourish. Then another site called "Audiogondigit" could be started and everyone would live happily ever after...
"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...
