Can Audiogon compete with AudioMart (US and Canuck)

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.

What does this mean?

Cloud flare has ruined this site.

 

I have only  bought through USAM and Audiogon and it was so much easier buying through USAM because you can do simple things like ask for a phone number and talk to someone in real time about the product they are selling instead of each question taking time before you get an answer. You can get a better feeling about the seller by talking to them instead of getting a cut and paste answer.

To me, USAM is what Audiogon once was, and it is where I look when I'm seriously considering buying something. I have never been a seller on either site, opting to find a local buyer when I decide to let something go. The majority of stuff I've bought was through Audiogon, simply because I started with them back in 2010. But in the past several years, the few purchases I've made have been mostly through USAM. Never had a bad experience with either service that I can recall. I think it's a good thing to have both as choices, because each definitely caters to a slightly different need/customer. And I have to agree with the post about sellers being easier to communicate with directly via USAM; it just seems like a more relaxed experience for some reason.
