Do you trust Audiogon?
Recently, I came close to purchasing a five-figure item on Audiogon. After quickly agreeing on a price, the seller did several things that caused me concern. Some of them involved proposed violations of banking laws, and others were clear violations of Audiogon's own regulations. I realized that this wasn't someone I should trust, and I might be receiving a box of rocks or a broken item, and I'd never again hear from the seller. I killed the deal and reported this to Audiogon. To my amazement, the seller's account and his listing are intact.
How does this protect honest buyers from predators?
