Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership?

I think a membership based site may have real advantages but if it’s not run correctly or doesn’t have critical mass it wouldn’t be helpful or attractive to me. 

They got enough of my money will not give them 1 cent more plus my wife says I'm an insider already.

Well here is the real plan based on my speculation.  The regular forum we all use is going away at some point in the future.  As the forum becomes more moderated we will need to pay for the moderators. In addition, Agon now has another income source that offsets the fact that buying and selling is slowing here and in HEA in general.  The only way to be part of the forums, at some point in the future, is to pay.  Just my speculation.

I’ve found that the Bluebook is a good deal more informative than I was anticipating.

Based on having looked at it previously without being subscribed I was expecting that it would simply show an average of all recorded transactions for a particular model, as well as the original retail cost.

What I found, though, is that a graph is provided showing the month, year, and selling price of each recorded transaction, which especially in the case of older items provides a better indication of present value than a simple average. And in many cases it also makes it possible to gain perspective on how the value of a particular manufacturer’s products tends to hold up over time.

Also, in some cases links are provided to specific listings that occurred in recent years, which helps to correlate the selling prices with condition.

I'm waiting for the day we all move to a private Facebook group. Imagine pictures on the fly?
