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 !

Nonoise - that's exactly what  was getting at. I was not complaining
about the $4.00 add as some have for whatever reason interpreted
my thread as......but then you throw in 2% on an expensive piece and shipping is always tough.......most of what you wanted to sell you gear at is now been cut into. I am just careful of putting my financial information on another site .......I just want to post an add for something small for $4.00 ...and be done with it  
 
Garebear- I hear you. The fact that my speakers aren't moving may compel me to just bite the bullet and list them here. I really don't need the money (no jokes please) as I've had these listed for about a year and a half and have gotten used to them sitting where they are but I'd like to get them to someone who'd appreciate them.

It helps that I've been in contact with Tony Manasian (who made them) so he's on the lookout for anyone in the L.A. area who still wants one of his designs.

If I were you, I'd try Usaudiomart first and give it some time as their listings are growing but things seem to be moving at a good pace. After that, try here. Believe me when I say that some time after the sale, you're going to wish you did it earlier. :-)

All the best,
Nonoise
Thanks nonoise and good luck on your sale  .....I have been a member here for 16 years and I can say ; I remember  the good ol' days of Audiogon. I realize that things change at such an incredible
speed anymore .....  it has now tuned onto how low will the buyer go and can I sell it for a profitable as opposed a site for audiophiles who want to trade up and try new equipment. Or the thread trolls who offer nothing to a legitimate question you have asked.  
I remember ebay's early days when you could send and take a check, and the fees were reasonable by my standards. Audiogon fees are reasonable by my standards too, but giving out personal information is a different matter. But what should we expect?  US Audiomart will likely become similar in time, switching there is not a solution. Stop buying and selling anything here, anyone. That would give them thinking on the subject.
