I had an interesting experience with a recent wanted ad for a pair of speakers. Within a day of posting, 2 pairs listed for sale out of the blue, had not seen a pair for months on the board. Then one of these sellers, after I contacted him, changed his listing, pushed his price up etc. Another person contacted me and wanted to sell his 'new' pair for about 3% less than a dealer had priced a new pair for me. Others quoted prices higher than retail....and so forth. I was amazed at the number of people who (if they are to be believed) bought speakers from a dealer, never opened them and decided to sell them on......yeah right. Whoever above said it was like having a bullseye on your head echoed my experience. I did also get some decent offers too so you need to be prepared to deal with all types.
Anyone use Audiogon "Wanted" Ads Success?
Do these work? Whenever I list something to sell, checking the Wanted section first doesn't even occur to me and I was wondering if that was normal.
It's worth the question now that they charge $6 to list one of these.
