What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling

Audiogon has removed the Martin Coltrane ad, but I am afraid this is going to be a game of Whack a Mole.

I hear you. I often ignore those ads.

I saw some Tannoy ads that were more advertising to check out a dealer's booth at a show. I'm fine with those ads.

One thing that is a bit worrisome to me is that there are ads for moderately priced gear and the sellers have no feedback and the ads are often one liners. These are raising my suspicion as to how legitimate these sellers are. When I started out here I tried to be descriptive in ads and convey that while I was new here I knew how to treat a customer.

I agree with your thinking but having said that I doubt anyone here in the USA would fall for such scams.For me I dont even look at ads if not in the 48 states.Scams are everywhere,you as the buyer or seller have to do your homework before any deal..always!!!

There's an old saying "if it its to good to be true it usually is"

If I see one I normally report it to the Audiogon folks, they are usually pretty good in following up on these fraud alerts

Good listening
