THE WORST SELLERS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS, Audiogon, Audiomart, E-bay.....Others

When I sell here, I go out of my way for the purchaser. First, I send them a message thanking them for their purchase and also to let them know the day I am shipping and how it is being shipped. Once shipped, I immediately send them the tracking info. When I am sure the item has been received I wait a couple of days and message them inquiring if it arrived safely. If I don’t get feedback, a week later I will give them feedback and ask they do the same.

I would say 50% of the time, I get absolutely no response from any of my messages and some of these guys are always here in the forums (hint, hint). I have sold 4 items in the last 45 days and only 1 person has given me feedback and that was after 3 requests. The other 3 ghosted me, never answered any of my messages from day 1 and never gave me feedback. Like I said, some of these guys post in the forums weekly, if not daily.

They act nice here but are very rude not to answer even one message with a “thanks” or something similar. I have pretty much sold or gave away all my excess gear so I won’t be selling much more. In my 13 years here, I have lost out on feedback from at least 20 or so sales. Some people can really be jerks or a holes and need to learn proper etiquette or netiquette.

Stereo5:  I can say "Amend"  to that statement...........Thanks

Stereo 5 so true many turkeys here.I had one guy sold him Audience line conditioner he paid me after receiving unit I took a big chance.He did not deposit money until after he got unit then I asked him for positive feedback he said he felt funny doing it.(What a jerk).Audiogon has many jerks.

Well this is what has happened on the internet with me in several days....I have three amplifiers and one pre-amp I'm trying to buy on Audiomart....Keeping in mind that the Audiomart guys are the worst for answering e-mails to buy or ask questions about purchasing....The first guy sells the pre amp for 2200.00 , I have sent 10 e-mails to be told its pending but has not been paid for.....I offered to pay him right away.....No answers......Second guy on Audiomart, has a amplifier which he said he would sell me for 700.00....All he needed was the shipping....two days no price for shipping and one email with no information about shipping, so I told him to add 50.00 and send a invoice......He can't do it......Audiogon sells me what I thought was a pay-pal deal for 877.00 for a amp......When I click on what I thought was Pay-pal payment.....It takes 877.00 out of my credit card ....The deal is done.....well maybe its done but its not.......I have no information of the seller except his phone number (which he won't answer), I'm out 877.00 which Audiogon is holding because he is a new-be, he won't send it without the money, they won't release the money untel I receive it, which I will never do because he won't ship it without the money.......So I tell Audiogon to forget it and just give me my money back.....And they won't do that unless he gives them the OK to give my money back..........Do you see a problem ???

Well I've just offered to buy another item on Audiomart, we will see if we ever get a answer, or how long it takes..........I bought a 3500.00 item on e-bay yesterday and it took about 4 minutes to complete the deal, and in less than two hours I have the tracking number ..........not bad ??    My Audiogon deal started about a week ago, and I'm out 877.00 and I don't even have the name of the seller, And I might not ever have it..............We will see.......
