Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon?


I guess I'm curious as to the value of stating "check my feedback on ebay" when someone has little or no audiogon feedback history. While I may be cautious of new sellers here (it doesn't mean I won't buy from them, I do and we were all new once), sending me to ebay for feedback usually turns me away from the ad. I don't buy or sell on ebay because it's such a scammers paradise. Does ebay feedback matter?
Another thing while I'm up at 4am, how hard is it to put the "New Retail" price in the ad? Items that are 4-5 years old I understand, memory fades, but something bought within the last year or within the last month? If I have to do the seller's reseach in this regard, I skip the ad. All of those boxes are there to fill out to help sellers. The more information, the better.
It's 5:30 now and I guess I'll get some coffee. Good morning everybody.

Is feedback on ANY website worth anything? Buyers/sellers are only as good as the outcome of the transaction you are involved in. Online sales-good luck. But so far, feedback is all we have to go on or your gut feeling. I like using the phone to check out things out before I enter into a deal. If you are denied a phone #, then looks like trouble ahead.
