What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads?


Audiogon has been in existence for over 20 years now, and if you are like myself, you probably have read thousands of for sale ads. When I read most of these ads, I always feel like the seller is leaving out vital information about the actual product (unit they own) they’re trying to sell. Some sellers are spot on when they sell something. They describe the unit in full detail, but most don’t. To me that’s a red flag and frustrating. For myself, the most frustrating thing is most ads leave out equipment age. If I’m buying something used this is vital info I want to know. If a seller doesn’t know the age of the unit don’t rate it 9/10 and later telI me I don’t know the actual age. One retailer, I will not mention names, always gives you 3-4 paragraphs of how great of business they are, and leaves one sentence at the end to describe the actual product being sold. LOL

@riaa,

Under Categories menu, select ‘All Equipment’...problem solved.  
Dealer ads have taken over Audiogon.  Most ordinary citizens sell on US Audiomart.  


i concur, this is largely true
@dronepunk , @geof3 - also agree. I find it kind of insulting when adverts say "buyer pays paypal fees". The seller knows exactly what these fees will be. Just adjust the price accordingly. Paypal protects both buyer and seller. Would you ever buy a new product from a store that told you that you had to pay credit card fees?
@jjss49 yeah, I’ve pretty much gone to USAM for both buying and selling these days. Still some on A-gon but mostly USAM.
