MSRP policy-

Does audiogon have any firm policy on how retail prices are listed? There is a piece now up with the retail price listed 700-800 over actual MSRP . . . and although this particular online, heavy volume seller has tons of positive feedback (and one neutral), my dealings with them (e-mail and phone but no transactions) leave me feeling that they would step on their mother’s head to move product.

seems to me that listing retail that much over reality is: a) fundamentally dishonest; and b) should be subject to reprimand by audiogon.

weiserB, i think what you're saying is that MSRP and asking are not connected 100% of the time rather than "100% connected"--and i agree. vintage gear is a different ballpark, but with stuff introduced within the last 7-10 yrs., there should be an expectation that the MSRP is relevant and should be stated accurately.

mods also can be a factor, and can be stated in the ad, but that still doesn't change the MSRP.

Sissdp: "Seller can charge whatever buyer is willing to pay. If you think he is asking too much, don't buy from him and he will eventually mark the price down."

Where did I say ANYTHING about what the seller is asking? The issue is a blatantly overstated MSRP . . . I'm fully aware the seller can ask any price.

When I asked the seller to confirm age of the demo, in writing, and his vague reference to some kind of warranty, he in effect said I'd have to trust him. . .

I asked if he'd ship the piece and "trust me" for the money. end of convo, of course.
