Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.


In the past 12 years, Audiogon was a great resource for buying used Mcintosh Amps. Recently, it became the hub for scammers listing all kind of Mcintosh gears. I got scammed myself but Paypal and my bank caught it. Audiogon answer was be careful with some of our sellers( what a laughable comment). For now, I will not list or buy till Audiogon find a way to verify the new sellers. Too bad 👎…,,

One should consider that it is the readership that sets the tone.   Bad actors look for stages with weak audiences who will fall for their grift.  I see trolls but not supporters creating support and demand for higher standards.

Caveat emptor means the same think now as it did 2,500 years ago in early Rome,  I like Intel's Andy Gove's motto "only the paranoid survive".  In a world of folks raised on entitlement the grift is rife.  Such is life unless you decide yoowant more and better, and take action..

I believe in personal accountability and responsibility. 
You are responsible for your decisions. Take responsibility. 
 

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Audiogon.  PayPal offers buyer protection and do your due diligence like you would anywhere online.

That is why there is feedback, unless of course that too is made up or scam...
