Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG

I have had nothing but good results with AudioGon.  I generally have thought that one reaches a higher quality of buyer here, but these days, I am not so sure, since I have bought a couple of big ticket items on USAM, and they seem to be overtaking (or have overtaken) Audiogon as the place to sell equipment.  I think that Audiogon has to wake up and smell the coffee . . . competition is competition and they are clearly losing sales to USAM . . . why pay anything when you can list for free and reach the same audience?

I think one of the issues is definitely that audiogon doesn’t condone conversations between members outside of audiogon

U S Audio mart has certainly progressed in the last few years and the buyers as well as the sellers have all upped their game, with that said I still use Audiogon to buy and sell when needed as what they offer is unique and on a larger scale, plus the forums are great to read and reference when needed. I do pay the $50.00 membership to USAM to give back for the free ads, which I have used quite a bit lately. Enjoy the music

USAM  Much easier to use. Communications between seller and purchaser is great, and it's free. Post all the pictures you want. It's great for our hobby!  Can't beat that.
