I think you are correct, the response will be dismal i am afraid.
Says he who just blew a whopping $10...

Oh wait, they gave me a 50% of any listing code which could be worth a LOT more than my paltry $10.

Oh wait some more, I guess Audigon needs to have people who are actually buying items from their classifieds for that to be of any value.

Ah well still only $10, or for some folks less than two morning coffees at Starf@#$s
It also appears that those members who had subscribed to the BlueBook prior to the Insiders Forum being created have been merged into the Insiders.
So they are "joined" and have a yellow badge without joining if you understand.
Oh look a spangly yellow badge!

However all I am going to say so far is that it was worth $10 to me.
Wonder how many are going to give it a try?
I may well do but just start with the $10 month and see what shakes.

Not seeing to many yellow badges( at least I think that is what it is supposed to be) as of yet.
OK, so when you join a little yellow i inside a little yellow rectangle pops up beside your name. Like jayh, d2girls and mahler123. So now we know what weโ€™re missing out on...

Seriously?
Jayh?
Did you read the previous post by them?
Kinda funny now...โ€ฆ

So now we know what to look for โ€ฆโ€ฆ.
And here was me thinking you was just plain inside out.

Ah I see my error,I was thinking
Elizabeth.
I better not go then as already been accused of being "in bed with Audiogon" and getting preferential treatment due to being a "high post count member".
Just think what they would make of that if was a true "insider".
๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
What Audiogon is referring to there is that some time ago they sent out emails to members ( no idea what they based that selection process on though) to see if interested in providing feedback to Audiogon on future ideas, plans etc.
Nothing nefarious at all.....

And nobody got paid for it...lolย 

I can see the analogy with high end car forums to high end audio forums for sure but we will have to see how this goes.

Still do not see anybody having joined or admitting to joining yet.

Maybe might have to stump up $10 just to see.
The Queen of England could have said it for all I care.
It made me laugh and that's a good thing on a Friday morning before 2 cups of coffee even.
Iโ€™m with Woody Allen on this: "I'd never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member."
Best post so far, nearly spilt my coffee. I took it to heart.
Thank you
Some interesting ideas there Elizabeth.
Are you on Audiogon payroll?

๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰
Its not a horrible idea, I just do not see it working right here, right now.
There is little enough member participation right now on freebie forums, by that I mean many varied members not the same consistent core posters.
Really do not think timing is right for an elitist club.
Glupson.

We are all just one big happy family here now.
Think how cozy the " insider edition" will be!

โ˜บโ˜บ
I would say it is a result of the change of ownership where the new owners only see Audiogon as a pure business venture and all business have to make money.

It is not the enthusiast owned Audiogon of old I am afraid.ย 
Bob.
That is actually a very good idea, a free trial just to see if it is for you or not.

GK
You know we all adore you........
No forum would be the same without you.......
And that one is the truth!
Clearthink.

As the $100 is such a trivial paltry amount to you can you sign me up as well pretty please!

Seriously though, I was asked about it along with Jond and many others I am sure, and I thought it could have a chance of working as intended.
Agreed the blue book included is nice.
Ad free browsing, yep nice too.
Moderate my own thread? Oh Lord give me strength to resist hitting that delete button too often! Not sure as that is the best course of action, tempting as it may appear!
Could end up with a LOT of one sided threads depending on the OP in question.

Still not sure if I will give it a spin or not.
