Website leaking oil?

There was a previous post on this. Apparently they thought that charging a percentage of the sale would be appropriate. One example showed that it would cost 8% to sell a piece of gear there as opposed to $2 here on Audiogon. I don't know what those guys were thinking, but it's pretty obvious there are better alternatives than spending 8% to sell a piece of expensive gear.

Yes there is sliding scale for items sold based on sale price with "special" introductory fees until 6/15 after that
they don't say. These "introductory" fees are lower than the
ones originally posted there. Here is link to special rates
until 6/15:

With these rates a sale of $525 will generate fee of $13.25
There is no cost to post add, but I definitely will stick with Agon for my sales.

Perhaps these promotional fees will become the normal fee after 6/15, if they go back to fee schedule they originally posted I can't imagine many people using the service. I bet they got some bad feedback on original fees and are trying to find what the market will bear.

It would make sense to base them (the fees) on what Ebay currently charges. I find the scale that Ebay uses to be more than reasonable for the service provided.
