Opinions Please: Daily proliferation, several dealer/distributor ads,..


Good Day...I'm not looking to start a war, nor am I asking this question to cast any negative comments on one or more manufacturers and distributors/dealers that look to use Audiogon ads EVERY day or at least weekly to post a long stream of the same ads over and over again on new equipment be it Tube, Solid State or Cabling as if it were their own personal bulletin board. There are several that do this on a daily and weekly basis.  It makes it difficult to go through the "new today" and "new yesterday" auctions, classifieds, etc..and figure out what regular members and others who post one-at-a-time postings have put up that day.  

I think it would be sensible for Audiogon to consider putting up a separate "Dealer/Manucturer" Sell Forum right here on the same site that would allow them to conduct their business while keeping regular member/others' ads which we also pay money for, in a place where these ads stand a chance of showing up earlier in the list, not one page or more down after the repeating dealer, distributor and manufacturer ads are done.

The firms in question are all fine members of the forum and provide good products; I think that Audiogon should consider setting up a page for them and give regular members listings a better chance of being easily seen.

Thoughts?

Seriously, I too am annoyed for the repetitive ads. (I would like an advanced filter system so I can turn off certain categories. But then, a lot of ads don't fit with their categories.)

On the other hand, these ads are placed by the very dealers I will contact to research/shop/buy my next audio component. So I guess it's a necessary layer to sift through. 

I guess I'm just glad I'm not the only one annoyed by this.
I agree with the OP and suggest the "Classified" ad section be for private party ads and create another section for dealer & manufacture use or install a filter system like craigslist has.
