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.

Wow! I’m so sorry to hear this! I’ve been on audiogon since 2001 and have engaged in many purchases and sales, but I have not sold anything in several years and only made one purchase recently, as I have been very satisfied with my rig and have purchased some gear from my local high-end retailer.

As a buyer and seller, I always tried to treat people as though they were a personal friend. I guess that is out the window now, if this is the consensus. Of course, this is a self-selected group (bad seller experiences). I wonder if it is a more general feelng?
