Can Audiogon compete with AudioMart (US and Canuck)

I have almost always been able to bargain with the dealers here...

Well, one site has 9841 ads listed today and the other has 3918.

Audiogon "used" to be the best place to buy/sell equipment. Greed seems to have taken over. Now Audio Mart has filled that void.

I have had great success selling things on USAM from expensive amps to cheap cables. No fees, no time limits, and the site is pretty easy to use. The platform looks a little dated, but so what, it is free.

There are both private sellers as well as dealers. I just checked and there are now 10,911 sales adds listed.

There are some great deals on demo Accuphase genuine US market 120V units.

Not too long ago, I had some cables for sale on USAM. I got a message one day that someone had left negative feedback... on a cable for which I hadn’t even received one offer, let alone sold!  I logged on and on the page with the feedback was an embedded link that would purportedly "fix" the negative feedback if I provided financial details. This was right on the site. Needless to say, I did not follow the link. I contacted their webmaster and they removed the content but this lax security led me to decide to steer clear of that site. Make what you will of this. I don’t have any agenda, here -- simply passing on what I experienced.
