HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ???

@stereo5 ,
That sound like the same guy who was selling a pair of Vandy's a few years ago. They, too, took years to sell. ( and, a custom paint job, too).

Thoughts on the market so far?

Anybody having good or bad business?

Have done pretty well over last couple months on sales at what I term fair to me prices both here and on the Bay.

However some sellers still need to work on their negotiating tactics a little as I found out today. But that's life.

UBER:    I would have to ask if you are continual selling items or just one's and two's .......The market place seems to be approached differently by people who see the seller as a dealer...........And that seems to justify the treatment the seller receives.....I find the people doing the most questions, do by far the least buying......I would call them "Dreamers".....It seems that the more questions they ask ???  The more in touch with the item they feel .......I have even tried to let people buy on a two month pay out, just to help the sales process.......But it is very easy to lose patience with people when they have you do very time consuming picture taking and sending and you never even get a "Thanks"..........Will

One issue I am a bit perplexed with is sellers not taking new users seriously.
I have seen a few posts from Agon members not wanting to sell to those with little or no feedback.
With Audiogon's policies, I can't see how a seller would be taking a risk in selling to such a person- And, we all have to start somewhere.

It does seem some of the eBay mentality towards new users is creeping in but it's crazy.

Example is that 3 of 4 sales made in last couple of months were made to new users with zero feedback. Now if I had turned my nose up because they were new it is possible I may still be sitting on those items now! All went perfectly.

Autospec.

Just selling in one's and twos and it is all my own personal gear from upgrade or change of plans etc.

I refuse to give the stuff away just to make a sale but always open to negotiate on price or a deal to a point.

Unlike one strange seller I dealt with recently who told me i needed to learn to read as if he was open to any offers he would not have limited his listing to a buy it now price only. That's a winning attitude if ever i met one!
