Vendors Who Post


There are a number of vendors who post to Audiogon discussion threads. I think we can fairly assume that all of them have disclosed that there are in fact vendors and are not hiding this important fact. In my experience, most vendors are very helpful here and do not attempt to primarily use the threads as a marketing tool to solicit customers. They use the threads to give useful information pertaining to their products, to clear up misunderstandings about their products and to correct misperceptions about their products. Most vendors post in a professional way with an appropriate tone. But, alas, there are some vendors who are less professional than others on these forums, in my opinion. How do you feel about the vendors who post here?

Rja,
You make important distinctions here. All 4 classifications are accurate. The objections I have are:

1. Industry-connected people who do not make a disclosure.
2. Industry-connected people who trawl for business and use the forums to attract attention to themselves -- sometimes in negative ways.
2. Industry-connected people who trawl for business and use the forums to attract attention to themselves -- sometimes in negative ways.

Sabai, and members really wouldn't know who they are unless the vendor mistakenly posted under a different username and keen quick eye's caught them ;)
Jp1208,
I was referring to vendors who declare their situation but who are primarily here to attract attention to themselves -- whatever it takes. And that means even being negative and abusive on forums. There also may be vendors with multiple names who hide their true identity here.
