Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?


Dear audiophiles, 

Is it safe to buy products from audiogon sellers ( person or shop)? I don't want to receive goods contrary to the description on the audiogon web.  Unlike eBay, there seems no guarantee over here? Am I right?  Those who have plenty of buy & sell experience here, pls. kindly give me your advice, My location is fin Far East which is far from U.S.A. Tks.

I’m from Singapore (part of Asia) and have bought 2 items here. So far so good compared to some other sites where the seller is overly  enthusiastic in selling me one. Telling me he is a Christian and would never do harm to others  and showing me his passport to prove a point. I’d stay clear from these as well.

its always a risk when buying stuffs over the net. Check the feedbacks looking for “patterns” as well. I notice patterns like it’s usually the same old people who are giving the feedbacks and he has like 20 feedbacks in a single day and none for a week and then another 15 feedbacks in a single day. Kudos to him for building this over a period of 8 months.

And be wary of sellers from China although I’m Asian. Too many knockoffs. Singapore sellers are safe :)
