@yogiboy – Nice. My takeaway is that with A'gon, "fees still apply, some friction compared to fee-free platforms, and disputes still require you to document and advocate for yourself." In other words, it costs more but disputes are not super easy. Given that one is paying more fees (vs. none on USAM), that pretty much answers the question, Which is best? – for me. |
I've pretty much never been able to sell anything on AGON, but always have had success at USAM. And AGON fees are out of control and not fair in my opinion for the value, or lack thereof, that they provide. I've been very happy with both buy and sell transactions on the "other guys" site, even made some good friends. People are also willing to give better deals as their outlay is lower. As for equipment availability, I think there's a greater variety available as well, especially for those of us who are on "real world" budgets. Don't get me wrong, I'll spend what need to to get what I want. But there are reasonable limits And Amen yogiboy and his final comment. |
I typically do my research and know what I want to purchase. I then go to hifishark (link) and look at the currently listed "for sale" items, since their listings cover virtually all the main selling platforms. It seems the odds are about 3:1 or 4:1 that I find what I am looking for on USAM vs. on A'gon. |
