You know, I was just thinking the same thing. I'm relatively new here, and find the forums (fora) very helpful. I haven't sold anything yet (that's another story) but the few things I've bought so far have been terrific, and the experience is, compared to some of the dealers I've also encountered recently, far more refreshing and positive.
Grateful for Audiogon
As a relative newcommer to the audio marketplace . . . and a long-time IT gear broker ... it's too bad another 'Audio' Web location is filled with Indonesian scammers who are not deleted. I find this all the time in the IT world but on our boards we can immediately clear the fraudulent sellers. I've found many bad listings on another audio web site and passed the links on of obvious scammers and they're completely ignored. Extremely short-sighted of the board moderators.
It's great to have this site and fellow 'Audiogon'rs' who typically list without the hyperbole and conduct business with integrity. In my IT business I tell our employees the measure of our customer service and satisfaction has more to do with our response to problems rather than being free thereof, especially with used gear. I've received only fair and prompt responses from Audiogoner's when problems have occured which is to be expected with used gear.
Peace
