"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em

The vinyl revival won't last, so time is on the side of all the folks here who begrudge a little space for stuff that could be picked up in garbage bins, garage sales or carted away for free a short while ago. Come to think of it, most of the vinyl on sale here probably was picked up in that way not so long ago. Maybe, as I have suggested before, renaming the site "Audiogonvinyl" would attract the right crowd (yeah, the ones with ears, I hear from the gallery...) and vinyl sales could flourish. Then another site called "Audiogondigit" could be started and everyone would live happily ever after...

i buy lps from here. I do suggest we should have a separate
page for these lp listings only.

This Music for sale section needs to have a "member listing limit" and doing so would make the seller with the HUGE list condense the're limited ads.
1 ad could contain a list of 20 LP's or CD's.
I think the free ads are fine. Just stop the ones who abuse it.
Just my $.02.

Apply the standard advertising fee. I don't know of anybody who will pay a $2.00 fee to sell a $5.00 record or CD. That will eliminate the junk ads. It might, at that point, also increase the quality of what is being sold. But, I do think it is a great resource for recorded music.

Did anyone consider that those people are selling music? Do we have our noses so high in the air that unless it's 24 bit, 24 carat gold, 180 gram, digitally re-mastered, virgin, original OBI, and all that other nonesense that it isn't music? I would much prefer some of the "junk" you guys are thumbing your noses at to the over-produced, overly sterile, junk that's being peddled today as quality sound. Who the Heck needs a seventh copy of "Aqualung"? How many formats do you need to hear a piece of music in before you enjoy it? I grew up listening to Alan Freed out of New York on a smuggled am transistor radio under my pillow at night - so my mom wopuldn't catch me. Why? Because they were playing MUSIC. Tap your feet, sing-along with, can't get enough of it MUSIC. I'd rather be able to hum or sing along with a good tune than be able to tell you the proper temperature to Cryogenically freeze a CD for optimum sound quality. Sorry if I offend, but I'm sick and tired of people who listen to equipment - and totally miss the point about the piece of music being played. So, like Al Anderson says on the fabulous album "Pay Before You Pump" - I'm gonna leave a little "Hiss on you."

Tired of the horse manure,
