to paraphrase winston churchill, agon is the worst system for sellers except for all the others--ebay is a total crapshoot and craigslist is overwhelmed by lowballers and outright scammers. from my experience, the substantial majority of buyers here are gentlemen and enthusiasts who deal fairly, but as others have said you're best off dealing only with members with a proven track record.
too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers
For years I've bought and sold here with no drama but that seems to have been changing. Now sellers seem to want retail pricing for their products while wanting to low ball on anything they want to buy.
At the same time I see more and more fussy buyers nitpicking the purchase, requiring tons of hand holding and concessions after they buy a fairly represented good working order item.
No longer fun for me unfortunately.
