What does the word audiogon even mean?


i get the AUDIO......but what about the GON

mid-fi-crisis

Going...going.....gon... As in auctions as when Audiogon first appeared Ebay was the only thing going. At least that's always been my assumption.

-gon
a combining form meaning “angled,” “angular,” used in the formation of compound words: polygon; pentagon.

That, and it's also a valid scrabble word, for whatever that's worth. 

All the best,

I like the name of this website. The "gon" lends a touch of class, gravitas and science to our wretched, pocket-emptying hobby. 😎
