Does anyone answer e-mail? Hello?

I have posted quite a few ads on this site and a couple of times when checking on "my page" I noticed that members have emailed me about a particular item but I never did receive the emails. Seems unlikely that this would account for the lack of response in your case but it can happen from time to time.

This is a tough time of year to do a deal in the audio biz. Some sellers are industry participants that could be working for manufacturers, distributors, or dealers. They could've be out on vacation around Christmas and New Years and out to Vegas for the big CES show. Also, while I haven't had any non-responses to ad correspondence on Audiogon, I'm sure they must occur from time to time, and you may just have had a bad statistical run. Finally, it may be that some sellers don't notify Audiogon promptly when their offering is sold or a sale is pending. Of course, they should let you know if the product is spoken for, but they would not be motivated to respond as much as if there were still a deal to be made.

Vdub, give us another chance, I always answer my emails and I must say I have had better luck than 2 out of 13. Keep trying.

I have received email for around 95% of my Audiogon inquiries for over 3 years, so something isn't right in your situation, or it's just a fluke. Vdub, some of the classiest people interested in A/V are members here, as you will see in time. Welcome. Martin

Welcome, I'm certain you'll find A'gon far more civilized than Ebay. I'm wondering, and please don't take offense...when you emailed the folks selling stuff here, was it to buy at the asking price or was it a low ball offer? Many will not respond to low-ball offers (I do, politely). One other word of advice, if you know what you want and what you're willing to pay post a wanted ad. ATB, Jeff
