I also like an "ebay way" to deal with sale or purchase transactions and so the feedback system that more accurate reveals the seller's/buyer's history.
I'm not also to judge the crowd's quality since I've done very few transactions through audiogon but ebayed a lot for sure. There were non-paying cases, sometimes I lost a track on my purchase transactions and forgot to pay but in general it's a great market media and whoever created it is a genius. As to the people you're dealing with there I had also no issue with their confidentiality or intellgence -- they all seemed to be OK and reasonable. Everything is done on ebay so far to increase the speed of transactions even including the shipping options on paypal that is owned by ebay right now. My friend won the Shevy Tahoe on ebay seing that it's more secure than go to the real street auction and he was right as he's got realy as described one-owner mint vehicle saving at least 60% from the new price.
In most of the cases the item goes best at ebay rather than audiogon and certainly more more secure. When you reed a feedback for the ebay member you can see recent transactions and see the item he/she bought/sold or at least item number and the date is displayed. On Audiogon you never know what you get or give a feedback for.
