No response from seller


Why do so many sellers don’t have the courtesy to answer simple question. I’ve been wanting to buy a passive preamp from a seller in Ca. Sent 3 emails, one a week and not one reply. It’s easy to check he’s been on audiogon as of yesterday. He has positive feedback, not many.
if you decided not to sell cancel the damn add.
still looking but rest assured if he ever reply’s he’ll get the same treatment from me.
im to old to play these childish games
thanks for hearing me out

Because this website is a joke for a proper auction site in 2021.  Many of the sellers are why this hobby almost died 20 years ago.  Egotistical sellers that lack proper knowledge to desctibe their products as well as the decay that organically happens to all transistors.  One mega seller in Chicago tried to convince me the product was thoroughly checked by a third party professional..him the seller?  Really!  Audiogon did work well before the redesign and sellers like Underwood Wally were class acts.  Get a professional real third party full bench check.  Get a deal off craigslist and roll the dice or get a killer deal from Audio Advisor or Music Direct.  The sense of urgency doesn't exist on here anymore.
Somebody pendantically asked why I'm on here?  Well first, I'm an American and am allowed to view what I please.  I also like this thread as it exposes the narcissism that many seller and people have around this hobby.  They cling to it because they failed to excel in their professional pursuits.  I also like to debate with smart people and understand others point of view because it helps lift the community with honest articulate feedback and knowledge.  Question is Stereo5 why are you on here to discourage free thought and contributions or because your one of the ornary ones that unhappy and lives to call out others with unproductive comments.
Thank you for noticing it was meant to draw attention.  I run a software company and a Professor at a top 5 University so time is valuable.  People that are passionate get involved whilst many sit on the sidelines... I do appreciate your desire to read while some of us like to educate and that was my first post BTW....
