What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?

All these sellers selling tubes as NOS. In fact the majority is used. At least you are covered by paypal.

There is one East Coast company (I won’t name) that sells often here but their prices are so high that I always know it’s them. I remind them occasionally that their prices are double the "average" price on the Audiogon Bluebook. They tell me they don’t care because business is good for them, but I see their items sit here for many months before they sell, if they sell. Very often, their products are flawed in some way, but they still ask ridiculous prices. If you’re a frequent shopper here, you know who I mean.

Not telling the truth about why they are selling.
Seller gives rave reviews from previous reviewers to substantiate sale but the item is for sale anyway.

If they were so enamored with the reviews, why sell especially after owning the piece for less than a year?

Hello,
This information is so good. Sometimes people have to sell things for other people and do not understand audiophiles. Other times it sounds like the seller is trying to mislead people to get there “junk” sold. I really hope Audiogon takes this thread to heart and sets up recommendations. I.E. 
grills off and lots of pictures especially damaged areas. Also, year manufactured. That should be below the price. Think about it, some of this costs more than a used car. Age of tubes, and finally it all includes PP. When you go to a store do they typically say 1% for credit card? No, if you pay cash they keep the profit. PP protects both. Bottom line is we really want certain gear but we are afraid to pull the trigger due to being scammed. Another reason Audiogon needs to step up and set this up. It’s 2021, lets allow more pictures included in the listing price or charge $1 more for the listing to help augment this. It will be less headaches for Audiogon because they will sell more, have to deal with less complaints, and more customers in the near future.
