Sellers Beware


I would like to inform the Audiogon Community about an individual I tried to do business with and hopefully what happened to me will not happen to others.

An individual, Frank, made me an offer on my speakers. I accepted his offer. He then sends an email asking how much freight will cost and he wanted the least expensive. A legit question. I informed him about clicking on Audiogon’s Get Cost for the freight cost and I proceeded to tell him I would take the speakers to USPS and get an actual cost for him. 

This was all by email. I asked him to please make an official offer through Audiogon. He never did. I have not heard a word from him since 5/30 when he asked about the freight cost. 

My thoughts are this individual should not be trusted. 

Have other members had experiences like this? I have sold quite bit on Audiogon and never had a problem before.

part of selling on forums, 99% are window shoppers, I have had sooo many ask for this pic hat pic etc make offer an disappear, its sad that folks do not care about ones time and effort

Someone makes an inquiry, then ghosts. It happens. Sellers beware sounds a bit hyperbolic for what happened, especially if made into a general thread. Just my two cents.
