25.00 flat rate shipping


Audiogon sent me an e-mail yesterday that for 25.00 you can advertise a piece of equipment and pay no commission. You can also Include you're phone # in the ad. What is you're opinion about this?

Sounds like they want to get rid of the garage
sale stuff.

Just like everything else in our society, catering to the wealthy. The old system, which is still around, is $4 and 2% of sale, up to $100. Which means that the big players, selling anything over $5000, stop paying the 2% fee. Now with the $25 flat fee, those selling over $1000 can make out.

Who doesn't make out? Those that are selling less expensive gear and cables. I'd rather see a flat 1% fee with no cap, you sell a pair of speakers for $50,000, your ad cost $500.
