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?

Not with this site being as functionally awful as it is. I only come here to make sure I'm not a bot. Over and over again. Cloud flare has ruined this site.

Obviously, only the owners of audiogon know what the state of its financial health is. US Audio Mart reminds me of how Audiogon used to be. Audiogon seems to be a site more focused on dealer transactions. Both sites serve different needs. 

I have bought a lot of gear off Audio Circle but they have shut down due to a hack

 

I guess we will find out eventually  which one or if both survive.  Right now they both seem to be kicking.  Stay tuned. 

US Audio Mart allows contact with buyers and Agon does not unless you pay the fees upfront.  I list in both places and stuff sells on Audio Mart most of the time as  folks can have open and honest conversations.  Agon  needs to change their policy.  
Why would I pay Audiogon upfront for something that may not even sell on their site? I seem to sell things much quicker on US Audio Mart when I post the same gear on both sites.
