Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?

Does not bother me. It is all about free markets. I agree that a lot of items fetch more on eBay. I also once got notice of a component I was looking for by reading a non eBay advert (not Agon) about an eBay auction. I ended up getting a great deal, because ironically, it was something they should have listed on Audiogon instead of eBay. It was probably the only Blue Circle component ever on eBay and I got it really cheap. It was also a Canadian seller, which probably does better here than eBay, for audio.

Gee: I just ignore ads (such as this) @ both sites (works for me:-).

There are some items that are better listed on ebay, for one it definetly gets more exposure and certain times will obtained a greater price than on audiogon, now who wouldn't enjoy that prospect. It also eliminates the number of tire kickers and hi-fi buddy inquires, perhaps you could just skip over those threads with titles referencing ebay auctions, this should eliviate your problem.

I offered an MSB Gold Link III (which I purchased for $999 from Northern Audio in Pittsburgh) here on AudiogoN at a fair market price; no one bit. So, I went to eBay and listed the item at my AudiogoN asking price ($700...it was a virtually new, mint condition piece, and MSB had just hiked the price up to $1800 or so). I then posted the eBay auction number on AudiogoN, just in case someone here hadn't seen the ad or had changed their mind. Turns out, eBayers bid the item all the way to $1,225, so I made well over $200 for having the Gold Link III for 3 months. I just thought it was fair to gove AudiogoNers a second shot, and it never occurred to me that any of them would be truly angered by that.

Okay, so I am a righteous goon. Bad day at work, I guess. I'm all for the capitalist way. Just had a bad case of "pretentious a**hole" or something. No bad feelings meant towards anyone. Please accept my humble appology.
