Search classifieds by condition?
I would love to be able to create a watch list similar to ebay .you can. Click on the '*' in the upper rh corner of the display for any classified, auction, or forum thread you're interested in watching, and it will allow you to bookmark that list... 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
TVAD, W and W is worth revisiting. Not a guarantee you'll like it but I think its the best of the post-Gabriel releases. 
New Vinyl Defects
Groovey - actually this is all the same vendor (ie seller). I bought a batch of LP's all brand new, sealed. They were just that. One of the LP's (Lambchop) is the one that has given me the biggest problem. The problem is with the manufacturer, not... 
New Vinyl Defects
Update: Well, the seller replaced my defective LP, and the new one is better, in that it doesn't have the label adhesive on the vinyl. The problem is side 1 is off-center exactly like the first one. I'm going to keep this one as it costs me too mu... 
The Outlaw ruins X-mas
As I read it, on their credit card payment screen, they do not require that ship-to and bill-to match. But if they are different, they require you to register the ship-to address with the credit card company. So in the case of this vendor they wou... 
Second round of auditions under my belt
based on your descriptions of what you liked, and disliked in these speakers, you should ensure you gove Totem Mani-2's a listen. I don't recall if you're open to a stand mount or not, but if you include a good stand, I think the Manis will delive... 
Allison One : woofer replacement
if you still have the old woofer, have it rebuilt. There are a number of shops that will do it. Short of finding a cherry one cheap on ebay, you may not do better $-wise anywhere. 
Speaker stand design - Is this a good idea?
I doubt there's anything wrong with the suggestion your dealer makes, but Blue-tac will be better, and easier.Also, there's an Audiogonner who has suggested Artist's putty is better than blue-tac - maybe try it if you can't get blue-tac. 
The Outlaw ruins X-mas
. . . and now we have the REST of the story.thanks for weighing in Scott. By the way, as a shopper, I think the practice of requiring ship to be the same as billing is a bad practice. I understand it's common, but I usually will not buy gifts from... 
The Outlaw ruins X-mas
I'm not sure they deserve any slack. All companies have to deal with vendor problems, and other problems of all sort. That goes with running a business. Some just know how to fulfill orders better than what Rhyno experienced. I'd be angry too, and... 
"I'll pay you later today"
I've had similar experience. I usually get a few of these for each ad, though I haven't had any of the "What's your PayPal address?" offers, just guys who say thay want it, and don't respond further. I believe many of the zero fb folks you refer t... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
I agree with Tvad. these questions don't usually come from serious buyers. Further, my best price, until I receive an offer to consider, is the one I post in the ad. Isn't that sort of implied? I recall one time however when the correspondence I h... 
Rock Concerts through your rig?
I agree with you both - I've been to very few (maybe zero) live performances where I was satisfied with the sound and acoustics. It makes no sense to try to duplicate live performances for the reasons you mention, but rather just try get a sense t... 
0 feedback sellers
I generally agree with Viridian, although I'm a little more careful with 0 fb's than lots of fb's. I'm not opposed to a phone conversation, but prefer a record, and find if the seller is able and willing to correspond clearly and precisely, the od...
