Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site?

Love these old war stories. Yes, I subscribed to the old Audio Mart circular too, and recall waiting for it with bated breath.
It came every two weeks, right?

Yes, IIRC it sometimes came every two weeks or so, and sometimes a little less frequently.  My impression was that it was published whenever enough ads were accumulated to fill an issue. 

I suspect that was the underlying reason for Walt's objection that I mentioned above to an ad having an asking price he felt was too high.  He probably didn't want members initially asking too much and then making repeated submissions of the same ad at progressively lower asking prices, which would result in him having to publish more frequently, which would increase his publishing costs correspondingly.

I've been here since almost the beginning (June of 2000) and have learned tons of info and made some great buys. I've been steadily upgrading my system over these last years. Some great people have come and gone on here in that time and there are some great people still here! I still think its the best site to buy and sell equipment on.

@mofimadness - You have my vote for the best image on audiogon on your profile!

@michaela-that’s Irina Shayk from a Men’s Health Magazine article about high tech toys. She is lovely, isn’t she?  The speakers are too...

@mofimadness - She sure is! Took me a while to even notice there where speakers there, lol. That is a great ad!

Like several others here, I joined Audiogon in 1999 and came every day to read ads and posts.  I still come several times a day,  addictive to say the least.

I’ve exchanged ideas with lots of people at this site, eventually we made a point of meeting each other face to face.   Best early success was RMAF where we met for Mexican dinner and everyone wore a badge with their Audiogon member name. 

Subsequently I’ve been invited to listen at members homes and many people came to my home where we shared food, drink and music.

There are lots of ideas and experimentation here, much more than any one person could accomplish on their own.  I read a lot of it and most has value, especially after a few years when we understand each others likes and dislikes. 

Last but equally important is the music.  I can’t count the times I‘ve auditioned tracks at Amazon or YouTube after reading a recommendation at Audiogon.  Lots of LPs and CDs in my library as a result.
