An Audiogon buyer may not be exactly a Stereophile reader, but there must be some similarity. For whatever it is worth, 71% of Stereophile readers are planning to purchase audio equipment within next 12 months. They are planning to spend an average of $2400 on those purchases. $2400 really does not get you very far on Audiogon listings. No wonder sales are slow. http://www.avtechmediausa.com/mediakit.stph.pdf |
The new listing format if FUBAR! There is little distinction between a plain Jane Ad and one that a seller pays for all the frills...So for that reason I'm out. Not to mention the search engine they incorporated is ridiculous...That little faded out picture is childish and sophomoric. I tried to find GoldenEar Speakers and ended up in Golden records. And last but not least I recently sold an item to someone who clearly damaged it during set up (Fully packed and insured by FedEx) and AGon decided to give him a 100% refund (based on his good faith word) and DID NOT REQUIRE him to send them back...Soooo he gets free speakers and a 100% refund. I know that part is a tad off topic but the reason I brought it up is I buy more then I sell here on AGon and I am not doing either right now because of the above mentioned issues. |
Aolmrd, Yes certainly the lovely ladies with the cover art from Pink Floyds Albums painted on their backs are great attention getters. In this thread a few people has asked to buy the picture which I have framed hanging above my turntables. As mention this is readily available as a raw poster here https://www.abposters.com/posters/pink-floyd-back-catalogue-v157?gclid=Cj0KCQjwnZXbBRC8ARIsABEYg6C6E... There is also a article about how this painting came to be here https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/outtakes-storm-thorgerson-designer-on-pink-floyds-back-cata... I do think the price used as an attention getter too - has impact on the number of clicks the ad has garnered - however so far no-one has offered a reasonable price for any of the preamps. Im running a similar type ad for a CDTransport/DAC combo with a MSRP of $16K this one has not received as many clicks - possibly because of the Artwork used as the attention getter and also I believe Transports are clearly out of favor these days as most people stream. This ad has received 3 offers so far one for $450, which was possibly just to be a smart ass back at me, one for $1000 and then one that was half serious at $3000 which is half of what I'd be willing to let it go for.
