Strange classified responses


I've been buying and selling gear on Audiogon for 15 years as needed.  Recently I posted a great all in one Simaudio ACE for sale and I've received some of the same inexplicable inquiries repeatedly.   I've never seen this before and I'm curious if this is a common problem on the boards now.  

All responses are from recently created accounts, with zero feedback and ask variations of "why are you selling?"   

Is is this a common phenomenon or SPAM?   I always answer politely and honsetly but the fact that I'm replacing an all in one for separates has never even kindled a conversation.  

Strange days indeed!

On the other hand, I tried to buy a specific phono preamp a few years ago on A'gon and twice after I thought I bought them they (2 different sellers) announce they're not in stock. BALDERDASH. As far as whining about seller fees goes, I've sold lots of stuff over the years and since YOU know ahead of time what you want for the thing, when the auction ends, and what the fees are gonna be, you should simply adjust your pricing accordingly...and answering questions, even dumb ones, takes about a minute. Get over it.
Hey Willie. I agree with you for the most part on dealing gear on Canuk Audio Mart, but it seems to be starting to go the way of KIJIJI. I've noticed in the past year or so, too many tire kickers and lowbllers. Just my experience though.
Many bottom feeders from overseas that are clueless to high end audio i ignore these turkeys!!
Not clueless really but most are from elites and/or religions that consider a seller about two steps below a mangy dog .
