Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.


In the past 12 years, Audiogon was a great resource for buying used Mcintosh Amps. Recently, it became the hub for scammers listing all kind of Mcintosh gears. I got scammed myself but Paypal and my bank caught it. Audiogon answer was be careful with some of our sellers( what a laughable comment). For now, I will not list or buy till Audiogon find a way to verify the new sellers. Too bad 👎…,,

Yes well I bought a McIntosh preamp on Audiogon  used it worked for 4 months and is now Dead....but it still looks great.Collecting dust on a shelf in my back room.

I have had lot of purchase for audio gear online, Audiogon is the most reliable platform to those in State, Canada, Europe and Australia.

I would just be very, very grateful that the system worked correctly and protected you. Consider yourself blessed..

I originally joined to purchase a pair of Sonus Faber speakers, so not all new members are bad. Sorry you had such an experience.

this is not what is meant by being scammed. If it worked for 4 months so you got what you paid for, it just unfortunately died. That happens a lot with used electronics. It should be able to be repaired.
