buyer question

Make all of your responses through the Audiogon e-mail system, not outside of it in direct e-mail correspondence. Then you have a record for Audiogon in case you have an issue backing out of a flakey deal.

I feel the same way about sellers saying the buyer pays the Paypal fees...that seller won't see my business, ever.

The seller clearly has no issues with ripping off Audiogon. You think his lack of ethics is going to be different dealing with you?
