ebay vs audiogon

I have bought equipment on both audiogon and ebay this past year and would say that I am definitely more comfortable with the former vs the latter. Twice recently equipment was misrepresented on ebay. On the first one paypal helped me recover my money. On the second it wasn't worth going crazy on (some scuffing on the top of a DVD player), but still left me hesitant to buy there again.

Hat's off to the audiogoner's for greater trustworthiness and honor.

Ebay buyers often get carried away and pay way too much for an item. I suspect that is one reason people sell there.
It is much more risky. Many scammers are lurking there. Often if I am bidding on an item I get an e-mail offering the same item for lower price. On the rare occasion I make contact with person, it is from someone overseas wanting a wire transfer to proceed. If I ask for serial #, usually they disappear.
Buyer Beware on Ebay!
