Are you allowed to increase the selling price ?

What actually happens a lot are ads for sale on Agon and the same item for auction on eBay. Like the new in box pair of B&W Nautilus 803 speakers from North Carolina going on now. The high bid is now more than the asking price on the Agon ad.

When a sale is over at a retailer the price goes back up, so I see no reason why anyone should be prevented from raising the price on a regular classified ad.

just a thought, perhaps it would be good to introduce a "buy it now" price in the auctions, as an option for sellers who want to use it. That sort of takes the place of placing simultaneous auctions and classifieds.

I agree; that is a good idea, Karls.

I dunno about you guys, but I always skip over the auctions here and go to the classifieds. In fact, I'd love to see the auctions go away altogether here, just takes up space. I'd prefer to not follow a purchase for five days, I have a life. if there's something out there I like and we can come to an agreement on price I'd prefer to avoid the auction game altogether. I buy/sell on Ebay when it doesn't make sense to list the item on sites like AudioGon. Jeff

Like Jeffloistarca, I too generally skip right over the auctions. I think I bought one $16 item at auction, and nothing else. A 'buy now' option would make them a bit more compelling.
