“In other words individuals can't log in and post a listing and pay with a CC nor can the seller accept any other form of payment i.e. cash, check, cod or CC (if so equipped).”
The above information is incorrect....any member can post ad here, pay for the ad with their credit card and accept check, wire transfer cash (local sale) outside the Audiogon system. I suggest OP should get with moderator and gain better understanding of the selling process. It appears OP rants stems from recent hike in selling fees than anything else.
As far as unrealistic sale price goes, one always have an option to submit an offer. People always want ‘cheap’ deals, free shipping and don’t wanna pay for PayPal fees. What they don’t realize is the high selling cost of a equipment which could run as high as $250 in Audiogon, PayPal and shipping fees.
