Many have a return policy with a 15% restocking fee
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
I’m a bit new at this hobby, so am wondering if the option to return a purchase within a short period of time is accepted practice or just naive?
I just opted out of a potential sale of a 15+ year old component @ $3,000+ because the seller would only sell ‘as is’ with no option to send back if I felt the item did not appear as described.
Is it acceptable practice for Audiogon sales to ask the seller for this option, or maybe ask only if the seller is a dealer?

…….I guess there are people with no shame . There is a big difference between a product that was sold that was broken, not as described and the buyer just not liking the sound . It had already been noted that if the product is defective the buyer if using Pay-Pal will have some protection. Please make sure that you have kept all documentation and the seller should go above and beyond to show that when the product was in good working condition as sold as described . I am responding to this thread as I once sold a high end Siltech interconnect to a buyer here who 2 months later said the cable was defective . The burden of proof as the seller was on me ! We are talking a high 4 figure cable and I had to present my case to Pay-Pal that the cable was in fact not damaged but in fact in fine working condition involving a buyer that “ just didn’t like the sound “ . The dispute after many months was ruled in my favor . My answer would be no as there are that 1-2 % that are truly dishonest here . Go do your homework and build a relationship with the seller before you buy ……now if Audiogon would only let you contact each other and not get flagged would be a great step for forward for all to possibly avoid this situation from happening . |
+1 @chayro TMR tip top to trade with. No caveat emptor w/ them. So @djb2573 if you’re hesitant don’t buy. PM me please for a special on a bridge in Brooklyn. NOT! On Agon you see if they are a Verified Dealer and see their recent and lifetime feed back ratings. There are many 100% folks. This ain’t ebay. If possible get to know your seller. I have had several pleasant back and forth messages when making a purchase on Agon. Some now a cyber pen pals. One guy came to my house! Great fun. Here there are many "birds of a feather."
