Selling on Audiogon

@paulg1966 I wasn’t always a dealer, but through this whole time (even when I was selling personal gear), I’ve always started with a no-returns policy. That said, I do care about my buyers’ happiness and typically take the time to make sure the item they purchase will meet their expectations, otherwise I try to help them understand their money may be better spent on a different product. If a person communicates dissatisfaction after purchase, at that point I may offer them an opportunity to return as I want them to be satisfied with their dealings with me. But if I offered a return policy up front, people would take advantage of me left and right. I suggest to go forward with a no return policy and maintain open communication with potential buyers in a way that leads to a mutually beneficial transaction for all.

On the rare occasions I sell anything on here, or usually U.S. Audio Mart, I offer a DOA warranty, if it arrives DOA then the buyer must notify me within 24 hours of receiving it.  Shipping it back to me is their expense, damage incurred when shipped to them is covered by insured shipping.  Once I receive it and confirm it’s DOA and not damaged I will refund the price they paid and all shipping charges they paid.  Have not had an issue yet.  Seems fair.

@noromance My dad always said it another way (but similar):  Youth is wasted on the young. 
 

@paulg1966 When my tinnitus started several years ago, I was terrified. Went and had an MRI done as Google had assured me I had an acoustic neuroma among many other scary things. Zilch. Just normal hearing loss that I’ve learned to live with.  Here’s hoping yours is just the same and nothing more. 

@noromance The correct quote is 'Youth is wasted on the young'.

Much more witty.

Alternatively attributed to Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw, both 19th century Irish wits and writers.  For my money it rings truer of Oscar Wilde's style.
