Agreed with OP and Tvad -- but would note that Agon apologized as well. Apology plus compensation doesn't change the past, but seems to be a pretty good faith effort.
Thanks Audiogon !
Recently Audiogon experienced technical difficulties which I am sure frustrated everyone. I had placed an ad just before all this happened and pretty much lost a weekend of viewers as I like to place my ads on Friday. In response, Audiogon extended my ad for 2 weeks and gave me a coupon for a free listing which I think was more than generous.
