Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??



Seems that a VERY HIGH percentage of the gear posted for sale has been lightly used with next to zero hours in a smoke free, pet free, cafeine free, oxygen free, gamma ray free home with 10 air purifiers working all at once, and operated only on Sundays between 6 and 7 am at low volume.

Notice how tubes ALWAYS have low hours on them? Man are we lucky in this hobby! Everything stays new!

It cracks me up everytime to read the postings, but it is not because it is funny.

I have to agree with Viridian that most are true. I have a fair amount of transactions and most all went very well with items as described. I will share this with you that the best items I have received have this somewhere in their ad- "You will not be dissapointed".

Liz, I know it's hard to believe but there are cartridges out there for sale that do in fact have low to no hours on them. I bought a new Shelter 5000 once and it only took 1-2 hours before I realized that this was not a good match for my VPI tone arm. Someone got a real good deal. I also have purchased used cartridges with under 100 advertised hours on them. They looked brand new.
"I once purchased a "very slightly used" 9/10 pair of AKG headphones. Arrived in a shape suggesting they had been abused, permanent rubbing marks and all. This product had gone to hell and back and was a 6/10 at best.

Unfortunately, Audiogon never let me post negative feedback..."

Could you please eleborate on this. I never tried to post negative feedback but it would seem to me that if the item was not in advertised condition you should have been able to return it to the seller for a refund or that would constitute grounds for negative feedback?
