Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?


Dear audiophiles, 

Is it safe to buy products from audiogon sellers ( person or shop)? I don't want to receive goods contrary to the description on the audiogon web.  Unlike eBay, there seems no guarantee over here? Am I right?  Those who have plenty of buy & sell experience here, pls. kindly give me your advice, My location is fin Far East which is far from U.S.A. Tks.

My suggestion is to read the sellers feedback very carefully. I've read threads here on Audiogon discussing problems with private sales as well as from retail stores.
There are lots of things that can go wrong selling used gear here same as anywhere. You have to be very careful. Especially with the big ticket or "pricier in general than the rest" items more common here than elsewhere. There are various reputable dealers here that have extensive very good track records though.
Likewise, you may find sellers very cautious as you are located outside of the US and have no Audiogon buy/sell feedback to get comfortable with
