I agree! I will add “vintage” to something that is 20 years old. IMHO, vintage should be from the Golden Era, not something made in 2000. Another turn off is “email or call for price“. If I have to go through the time of playing phone tag or waiting for an answer via email, I won’t bother. Another is someone charging “PayPal or Credit Card fees”. That is illegal on Audiogon, yet many members get away with it.
In the case of someone selling McIntosh without the original carton, that is a definite nope. No matter how much bubble wrap one uses, the glass front panel will definitely break during shipping. Lastly, is someone who is too lazy to write any description, just posts a picture and price. No thank you, I detest laziness.
