@blisshifi I, quite frankly, don't care what AGON thinks about that. There are far too many "opportunists" out there looking for ways to get "money for nothin" (Dire Straights pun intended). If they were really concerned about their members they would either allow the communications, or do a far better job at screening and monitoring. Since they really can't do the latter, I'll do whatever it takes to insure the safety of both my funds and my personal interests. We live in a time when "anything goes" and there are too few boundaries/consequences
Beware of scam listings - users now have positive feedback.
Historically, it was fairly easy to catch scam listings on Audiogon. The listed prices are usually too low, and the seller typically has zero positive feedback.

Here are a few listings that look fishy:
