Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies?

I am not currently selling anything. Last year was a big buy/sell year for me. In my experience when I was selling I rarely needed to re-list. If you know your market and product and price correctly it will often sell in the initial 30 days. Some people don’t price correctly and their ad sits there for months and months....so yes, these folks are going to be frustrated. My perception of Audiogon is that we have the best audience for selling high-end gear. I have used US Audiomart as well. I would often list on both for additional visibility. I always pay up front so it is simply 2% of your listing price. On the extreme there is eBay that wants about 13% of the final sale price. Audiogon offers a well designed website with great support and these fees are not unreasonable. They essentially spoiled us for many years.

You think these policies and or fees are bad.  Go sell something right now on Ebay.  What a crock of sht.  I have never felt so taken advantage of and disappointed in my life. Google:  "Ebay new fee schedule" or "Why did Ebay drop Pay Pal?"

I will still list on Audiogon.   

I too have been a part of this community from early on. A fact of life is that thing change. I also understood when A’Gon was sold by its original creators that change of ownership meant change of minds and ways, perhaps different priorities. I like this place, but with all due respect, I have from time to time questioned if it is really getting better for the citizenry. One only needs to look at current activity here, the policies and conditions, and look elsewhere to draw their own conclusions… This used to be the place to buy and sell. Those days may be well gone. With the Mart and the Shark it’s a different story. Do you see a rich and vital community being fostered? Do you feel rewarded to be a part of this community? Because otherwise, there are a lot of other places to be… just saying. My hope is that this forum continues to be a relevant and a healthy place to share in the love of this wonderful hobby. Otherwise truly, what is the point?
