Can Audiogon compete with AudioMart (US and Canuck)

Can Audiogon compete? AudioMart has way more postings (probably it is mostly free)? But can Audiogon survive?

Most don't give "deals" so I don't bother with them YMMV. If it is a dealer ad it can also be a demo or an exchange item.

I know which one I've migrated to. Trying to sell an ARC Ref 6 and seeing the "fee" was my watershed moment. I'm already losing money on each sale; no reason to amplify the bleed that much.
