ebay vs audiogon
Another annoying thing is people who use shipping fees as a profit center. I've gotten packages where the shipping charges are double what is stamped on the package. 
Hunter S. Thompson R.I.P.
Intentionally. It seems a broken leg and hip surgery had left him depressed. 
"Audiogon" Music Reviews at last
Hi Ben,A friend of mine who is a record producer recommended the new U2 album as well as music by the band "Snow Patrol". Have you heard the latter and if so any comments?

New York, New York - Audio Stores?????
I was treated quite shabbily by Lyric Hi-fi. I would steer clear of the Manhattan store.

Remembering Jerry
Uh excuse me , wasn't Jerry found dead in a rehab? Kinda like the guy who said : "Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it thousands of times."
