| Buying and Selling; shipping items and Escrow.com I’ve used escrow.com a half dozen times and it has worked flawlessly. I did encounter some resistance from prospective buyers, but in the end they all signed up and used it. As the buyer you could dictate that escrow.com is the only servic... | |
| Lightening damage - any hope? None of the damaged items have 'regular 'fuses like an amp has. I suspect they are mounted on the circuit boards. Any hints on what to look for on the boards to identify a mounted fuse? The damaged items are probably not worth repairing, but I'm ... | |
| Lightening damage - any hope? Thanks for the comments and ideas. BTW, I do have everything powered thru a Furman power conditioner. And I checked the ground wire at the outside cable connection and it is as it should be. I bought additional media converters to isolate the Ethe... | |

| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described @carlsbad2 I'd use it for any transaction over $500. Not so much for the $$ security but for the hassle-free nature of how their system works. I've done 7 or 8 transactions with zero hassles. | |

| Hi I've just sold item via Escrow first time... I don't recall that it was anything unusual about selecting Escrow.com as the payment method and then signing up for a Escrow.com account. The only issue was that any buyer also had to set up an account with Escrow.com and send the money thru them... | |
| Hi I've just sold item via Escrow first time... I sold 4 items last year and used Audiogon's Escrow option thru Escrow.com. Other than some buyers being reluctant to use this new form of payment, everything went as planned. Overall I think the process protects both buyer and seller much more th... | |
