Be nice to nOobs

Welcome David, don't take it personally, the world is full of jack asses, and AudiogoN is no exception. You should have received a reply, there is no excuse for that, but I know it happens. Hang in there and be patient.
If I could go back and start over again, patience is the one thing that I've learned that I'd want to take back with me. You will miss out on some deals, but other great deals are just an hour, day, week or month away. I guess what I'm saying is don't get so excited and jump on an amp, and then next week you see a better deal and groan. With enough experience you will know a great deal when you see one, when to jump quickly and when to wait patiently.

I've done it both ways. Some things I own I bought the second I saw them, some, like my turntable, it took three months until the seller wore down and sold it at a price I was willing to pay. That being said, I've learned the market by missing out on some items that I wanted, I misjudged the market. It happens, but patience = $$$. If you can be patient, as a buyer or a seller, you will make out better than a desperate buyer/seller.

So what amp are you looking for? Pssst...over here....wanna buy some cables???

Cheers,
John

I agree with Viridian. I've never had any problems with sellers with high feedback. I've only had two 'problems', both related to a large discrepancy in the items description. Both sellers had less than 25 transactions on AudiogoN.

Maybe it just all depends on your POV.

You are right Storyboy, these are exceptions and not the rule. I think those of us with much feedback felt like we had to defend ourselves from Mrjstark's allegations.

This is all way off track and unnecessary though.

Happy Holidays,
John
