That has not been my experience with Agon at all. I've been on here since 2001 and have bought and sold a bunch of equipment. I have never had a problem, either as a buyer or a seller. When I recently sold some gear, did I get some lowball offers? Sure. I either ignored them or politely responded that the offer was too low for me to consider. You can't fault someone for trying to get the best price that they can, no more than you can fault a seller for asking for top dollar. You never know when someone just wants to unload something. I'm not insulted by a lowball offer, nor should anyone else be insulted. Just ignore it. I personally think that Agon is doing a great job in facilitating the used high end audio market. Try using USAudiomarket or eBay. Not even close.
too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers
For years I've bought and sold here with no drama but that seems to have been changing. Now sellers seem to want retail pricing for their products while wanting to low ball on anything they want to buy.
At the same time I see more and more fussy buyers nitpicking the purchase, requiring tons of hand holding and concessions after they buy a fairly represented good working order item.
No longer fun for me unfortunately.
