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

@moto_man 

You could say the same thing about vinyl but it has stayed the course.
There will always be a niche market for certain sources.
Sure most people think cassettes are junk but I have quite a few really well mastered ones that are still a delight to play.

Sorry but when you have a great product at an already very fair price and you STILL get offers at 50% of your asking price (or less in a couple of instance) then it would try the patience of a saint.
And usually this has been accompanied by many irreverent emails even when you politely tell them their offer is not acceptable to but the product.
In general the whole attitude from buyers has changed considerably over the past 20 years with rudeness and brusque arrogance being all too common.

@cowan217.
 agreed that the likes of usaudiomart look like they were designed by a 5 year old, i would not buy from there mostly because it is so hard to even find what you are looking for.
At least ebay and agon have well laid out sites with great search and sort features.
Now if sellers could just sort the buyers before they even waste time.....

I hear and feel the pain
Been on ebay since the early days 2000 or so and it has NEVER been as depressing and volatile as a seller as the last couple of years have wrought.
So many "buyers" who think they can just claim they never received it ( despite tracking info!) or it was defective etc.
Paypal instant refund to them and they dont even have to ship it back!

Now I have been VERY lucky here, a lot of good sellers and buyers I have dealt with but.....
This year for sure had some VERY dubious potential buyers wanting a very fairly priced item for peanuts to start with AND giving bad vibes right from the start. This has happened 3 times and all 3 I have just told them I prefer not to sell anything to them as just not worth my time and potential hassle.
A couple got enraged over that and had to end up blocking them and reporting them to admin.

For sure it is a buyers market, always has been to some extent but the rudeness and arrogance that is increasingly common now is very hard to deal with.
