HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

Asians buy most of the stuff.

>>>>>I’m sure.

I have been a member of Agon for about 3 years but never bought or sold anything, hence, no feedback rating at all.  In spite of that, I recently  sold a 2 year old Krell integrated within 3 weeks for 43% of retail which was almost my full asking price. Like the other, much more experienced posters have stated, it's all about price first, condition second. 

Food trumps audio.

I agree it has to be priced right to even stand a chance but there are levels to which you can go.
If for example a 4 month old unit of a very popular and current item costing 4300 cannot fetch even any offers when priced at 2995 then there is something wrong with the market imho.
Maybe just my perspective but I know if I was in the market for that unit 4 months ago when I bought a new one and I had seen one at 2995 that was only 4 months old I would have snapped it up.

Saying that I have just sold within the last week 2 decent price items on fleabay unfortunately with their higher fees of 10% but at least they sold AND at same price I was asking for them here where they received not even one inquiry or offer.

So I am of the opinion that the "lens" look of Audiogon has hurt lets say casual browsers and sales.
At present time I do not think I be listing any more articles here, yes commission is a lot less but if not even going to get an offer it is pointless. Sad state right now. 

@uberwaltz....totally agree with your post.  I have a couple of items for sale where I believe my asking price is quite fair.  I’m getting no offers, lowball ones and just a lot of views.  Just because times are tough for sales/sellers doesn’t mean I’m going to lower my asking price to whatever a potential buyer will pay.

I understand simple economics and that it’s currently a “buyers market “.  Some would say my items “are worth whatever the market will bear.”  This Economics 101 philosophy is rather simplistic and fails to consider all variables.  My item has a certain worth to me as I’m the one who worked hard to buy it after deciding it was the right product for me.  I believe a potential buyer of my item should have to work hard to acquire it also, albeit at a lower price as it’s used.  It has to have a certain worth to him/her as well, otherwise they’ll simply submit a lowball offer.  Ultimately the price is not so much about the economy status as it is about simple fairness.  Fairness based on buyer/seller experience and consideration.

Let’s be honest, there are some buyers who are just plain cheap regardless of what the economy is doing; wanting something for nothing.  Others simply want to flip an item.  There is a fine line between lowering our asking prices to accommodate the market and plain foolishness/idiocy on our part.  I’m not giving my items away as I’m not desperate.  I’ll hold on to them until the market picks up again.  If it doesn’t, then I guess I’ll have more than one amp, set of speakers etc. to listen to.  Best regards.
