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.

@cowan217.......................

I feel the same way and my last 3 transactions as a seller were  transactions from hell.  I am done selling equipment as it is too much of a hassle.  Then there was the guy who bought a $1970.00 Magnum Dynalab FM tuner from me for $400.00 and then after using it a couple of days, decides he doesn't like it and either wants his money back, or wants more money off the tuner (claimed I sold him a defective piece).  Never again!

and 3 of those sales went to hell.  Like I said, never ever again.

FM tuners are a hard sell these days.

I still listen to FM radio, daily.  I have an excellent McIntosh FM tuner in my office system and I listen to it 8 hours a day.  I also have another McIntosh FM tuner in my main rig which I listen to on the weekends, you guessed it I listen to FM.
