I have never had a bad experience buying or selling on Audiogon.
I sold my old MAC6700 receiver to a very nice guy in Texas. The shipment apparently was delivered in a really hot time, and the bubble wrap around the remote melted. So I ordered and sent him a replacement remote, new from McIntosh.
He told me a sad story of one of his last Audiogon purchases, the box arrived and instead of containing an amplifier, it contained phone books. This guy had to go thru the legal channel and eventually got his money back.
