buyer beware of late


Did anyone else respond to the "unbeleavable" listings lately, like the B&W 800's for $3000 or the N802's for $3200...new members with no feedback. I received the message from Audiogon saying the members were "questionable" and not to do business with them. Same thing happened today with a listing for a Jadis integrated amp. I guess the only safe bet is to stay away if there's no feedback..but that doesn't do much for the legitiment new members trying to get established.

hahaha,here's a new twist,a greenhorn with a stupidly low priced mac amp sent me an email in an offical looking audiogon service dept page stating that his deal's will be handled by the audiogon staff & that they will fall under the audiogon buyer protection program which will protect buyers for up to $5,000.

this new twist appears to be an attempt to get personal information from buyers,this fool keep's telling me that i need to give him all of my contact info before we can proceed & he refuses to give me his info,he even went as far as to say he is in my state too.

i fowarded all of his email's to the agon staff,this new offical looking email stuff look's bad.
