Suggested NEW CATEGORIES

Yesterday I emailed Audiogon that they create 2 new listings in their audio categories: "VINTAGE" & "TABLE RADIOS"

Many of us have, desire, or admire VINTAGE (for me that's pre-1980) audio gear. Much of these items are sold on (ahem) eBay...when they would do better, I believe, at Audiogon. How say ye?

Likewise, there are literally 10's of thousands of various TABLE RADIOS from the 1920's through the 1960's...georgeous to look at, warm and rich sounding (not all, mindyou), and can make a pointed addition to your home's decor. ADDISON radios, made in Toronto, are multi-coloured beauties which can fetch thousands of dollars. Adding such a category would also serve to "cross-pollinate" many collectors in the general populace with the audiophile community...a good thing...do you agree?

Audiogon has replied that they "will consider" such a suggestion. Any support from the members can only HELP!

Don't know about the TABLE RADIOS but separate section for PHONO PREAMPS will be greatly appreciated or as subsection of ANALOGUE.

Vintage would appeal to many, table radios much less so. An analogue section would be great too.
I'd like to see a whole different category added to the Classifieds, a place where you can place your items for sale at a fixed price with a "no haggle" policy. So...Audiogon would have a section for dealer demos and the like, a section for auctions, a section for best offers, and another with fixed pricing. It would sure lighten the load on returning lowball emails that waste everyone's time. Maybe introducing another method of selling/buying would be considered too confusing but I for one would much prefer to buy and sell on a fixed price basis. Let the lowballers troll the "best offer" and "auctions areas" and leave the rest of us alone. Anyone else agree?

I was looking for a catagory where my posts would be more appropriate. I was thinking "Audio BS" or something a little more snappy that would encompass all flavors of self-important ranting. (we can think of it as therapy)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sincerely, I remain
