Buying and Selling of feedback

I being a dealer who does sell a lot of products on Audiogon have on occasion had customers back out. I have been offered funds in the past and refuse to take any money.
My experience has been that usually when a customer backs out it is because they misunderstood something or they have a very good reason. It is more important to me and I hope to most members of Audiogon that everyone have many positive experiences. An occasional mistake should be forgiven.

Personally I never want a consumer to purchase anything that they do not want. I also have not given anybody any negative feedback. I believe negative feedback should be for people who misrepresent a product or are less than honest in a transaction. I have found that to be rare in Audiogon.

If a winning bidder has to on a rare occasion back out the second highest bidder is normally excited to have the opportunity to purchase the item or you can relist it.

We are a very small community and harmonious relationships
will benefit us all.

A Sanctuary of Sound seems like a class act. This does sound like another Ebay type of thing and I expect it rarely happens here. Negative feedback should be deserved and I agree we should all go the distance to get along.

According to Audiogons guide lines feed back can only be left when money exchanges hands. What about backing out on auctions? To follow the letter of the law the seller may not have the right to leave bad feedback.

SOS, it's certainly a professional stance that you take. Your attitute and courtesy should serve you well. You deserve to be successful.
