I've never bought or sold anything that was misrepresented; I've always received the item as described and if anything the condition was better than advertised. 'Philes are fussy and tend to baby their toys, it's rare you'll see stuff banged up. Transactional frustrations on the buying end are priamrily shipping related: insist on NO UPS and the seller sends it by UPS anyway, poorly packaged stuff due to the seller being too lazy or cheap to package it up properly. Selling frustrations are primarily low ball offers, it's amazing the slime out there. I can live with the inane questions but the ridiculous offers (and the tone in which they are presented) are offensive.
Problems with proposed transactions?
What percentage of proposed transactions run into problems because the seller misrepresented the product? Are there more problems with individual sellers or dealers? I'm not interested in particular names (and audiogon doesn't want anyone to point to particular parties) just impressions if there are more problems with one type of seller.
