I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling


The Audiogon website has been great for gathering info. finding great deals and passing along great deals to other music and movies lovers.

Over the past year+ I have bought and sold equipment using 3 primary websites. So have many others that I have seen. I have noticed the following. I get at least 2X to 3X more views on another website called A****web, but every sale I have made has come from Audiogon contacts. Not one has come from the other site A****review.

Does anyone else have similar experiences?

I prefer Audiogon to any other site due to it's ability to track responses and its search capabilities. Don't even get me started with Ebay.

I'd like to thank the staff that support Audiogon.

Regards,

Jimmy

At least when selling-- well buying too, I haven't had much success on the "other" audio sites, so I've been pretty much been sticking with A'Gon which I think is by far the best. In fact it's become my "home away from home". But all sorts of strange stuff can be bought and sold on eBay. Cheers. Craig
I list here because I like the page design, it's easy to include a photo in the ad and also because I am familiar with the drill. I may try AA next, though, both out of curiosity and because they have gone to the trouble of recently including classifieds in their format
I have posted identical listings on Audiogon, Audioweb, Audioshopper and Audioreview. Guess where i received the most inquiries and sales from ? Audiogon. I could add up all of the others put together and they don't come near the results that i've gotten here. That goes for both buying and selling.

I would also like to agree with some of the comments regarding how transactions and packing are handled. It seems as if "Audiogoner's" pay a little more attention to this too. This is not to say that every item has been as well packed as i thought, etc... but they did get here in one piece (typically ). On the other hand, components purchased from other sites were not as accurately described nor packed as well, some phenomenally bad and completely destroyed because of it. As such, i'm more likely to deal with someone from this website based on past experiences. Sean

PS... What's the name of the website that Norbert started after he left AudioReview ? Have been there before but can't remember what it is. Something like AudioNirvana, etc...
If it wasn't for Audiogon, I would be upgrading my equipment as much. I really enjoy this site but my wife hates this place.
Audiogon is the first thing I look at in the morning, then I read the paper. I think this site is by far the best in terms of the quality of equipment for sale and the quality of the discussions. For the most part, I have found A'goners to be extremely well-informed and willing to share their experiences and knowledge. I have bought and sold a lot of stuff on this site (essentially everything I've bought since I caught the audio bug about a year ago), and I have never had a bad experience (knock wood!). I wish there were more audiophile sites that were this good.

As far as I'm concerned, A'gon and NY Times online edition are the two best things on the web!
