I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history.....

.......what the heck ? I am not putting my personal account information on this site  ...bad enough they take a % of what you sell YOUR equipment for ........but now also telling me how I have to pay for it and how the buyer has to pay for ......well. .I get it that is some cases it is safer....but I have done a lot of sales just by a personal check. I just want to post a cheap $4.00 add.......unbelievable.  Pay-Pal what a rip off that is !

Hello Scott_W .......I do not understand your response. What that an attempt at humor and not being able to add any comments of any substance ? Thought so.....Also, Mr.therobert ...with two posts ......you both missed my what I was saying. I was trying to sell something here and it once again has changed ...and after 16 years on this site......I kind of have a good on idea on how and what to sell here so thank you for your assistance but I was just surprised to see I had to enter my life's financial story....just to post a quick add. I also can swing $4 ......Dude ?

......Ozzy and John ......thanks I am looking at US AudioMart as a possible alternative. I too feel a level of comfort here on Audiogon  but it is just getting more and more expensive just to sell anything here

USAudiomart is a very viable alternative to this site, traffic not as heavy as here, but you all can change that :-)  Ads there are free and if everyone lists there traffic undoubtedly would be better.


Good Listening

A  $4.00 listing fee and 2% final selling fee is too expensive? Seems  reasonable to me! You best go to CL and have a bunch of tire kickers knockin' at your door!

I have ads on Usaudiomart as well and sold one item that was hard to sell due to it’s uniqueness (Burson Integrated) within a few months and have yet to sell another because I won’t risk damage to it from shipping (Tonian Labs speakers), though I’ve had several offers on them.
Your gear will move there, though not as fast as here. It’s free and up to you as to how to sell.

I just had an offer from A’gon for a free basic listing and with the option for credit cards, I just may look into it. It’s just that I don’t want to divulge anything more about me than I want to yet another site. I've never had a problem with my financial info on any site I've bought from which entails the info needed here to do the same yet I loath setting up another account.

All the best,
Nonoise
