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.

I agree with you 100%. I think they are also misrepresenting the products as a hole. They state the current MSRP and not the MSRP when the product manufactured. Often selling items that are still in production today but their product is 4-5 years old and not up to current standards. It is unfair to buyers and other sellers of like products as well. It lowers the resale value of the current product. Why pay $2000 when you can get the same thing for $1500, it may look the same but it’s not. They should call the manufacturer with the Model & Serial Number and get the proper info or not state MSRP at all.

I think this is a growing problem but don’t see how Audiogon could Police it with out increasing sellers costs.
