too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers

To flesh out the tuner part-- Will be very difficult to get close to what I would like for whichever tuner or turners that I sell although I have seen some high bidding on Ebay over the years.   Go figure.. It all just depends what one is selling and if there happens to be someone on a mission to get what is being sold.  
At any rate,  hearing others on here regarding the nightmares that can unfold has one trying to come up with a way to ensure that a buyer can not just return on a whim.  

@whiskeypirate,  moto_man---  I had some communication as well with a Cyprus seller a year ago or so re/Icon tube preamp .  He was going to send it to Britain for voltage conversion if I recall.  I didn't go for it , felt it a bit odd to be entering into such a long distance transaction.  
I have been buying and selling on here since  03.  I have had mostly good results .   A poster earlier pointed out that being the market for A'gon has been greatly expanded which has brought in many , many  others that normally would not be on this site and are not particularly grounded in the respectful style of negotiation that many here have cultivated whether selling or buying.  
I have not been selling or buying for quite awhile and gearing up to move some equipment out.   Although,   that may not be so easy with my tuners due to the rarity and the work that has been done by qualified techs ,,esp techs that have quite solid  reputations in the FM tuner world.   That world of course being likely the smallest niche of music listeners.   I have moved out of the bay area and have now resorted to listening to my favorite stations via the internet.   I did sell a Burgess custom 2A3 SET amp a few months back and was delighted with the smooth transaction as well as the seller paid my asking with no hiccup what so ever.     

@moto_man -  let me count off some reasons why --It all started back in the   60's for me..   fm joins the musical "revolution " and many discover music via FM  .    theres something about using   an electronic device that  functions in analog and is known for either its ability to function at the zenith of the technology or is mediocre in performance just like any other device.   Some would say that analog FM sounds better than the digital variety..   The major hang up for me is while there are FM stations remaining..  (non commercial) my choice of stations are rare indeed and for me its likely that only major metropolitan areas will have music formats and the style or type  of DJ that I want to hear on air between those songs.   For starters No commercials with someone trying to sell something or talking about the monday , monday,  monster truck rally..    ..  A DJ that is involved with the station because they just want to connect via a musical sensibility.    As mentioned,,  this is difficult to find.  Often college stations will fit the bill,, at least part of the time,, depending on ones musical taste.   At any rate-- I will be trying at some point after I put up my unobtanium APS 13  yagi antenna and see if there is anything worthwhile in Chico or Sacramento..   Not promising but one never knows..  Its fun looking and even better to find something worthwhile.
