Audiogon seller's question


It has been a long time since I've sold something on Agon. I still buy quite often here, but usually sell on US Audiomart. That said, I have recently listed a relatively expensive pair of speakers and just received an offer through Agon. The buyer just joined and of course has no feedback. So it will for sure have to be Paypal, but no F&F. What is Audiogons role in protecting either the seller or the buyer these days? I would like to have a phone conversation for such a transaction, but I know that's not going to be allowed.

Looks like it’s not going to matter. The guy ghosted me after I accepted the offer. 

I never get tired of hating the Catfishers & tire kickers in this hobby.

I hope everyone realizes that too many uninformed/misinformed folks with political agendas spread their BS on AG and else ware.

Yet, the usual suspects are doing just that, decrying politics where they see fit, thanking the moderators for curtailing it when it suits them, and hypocritically go about spouting political BS, calling it common ground for all Americans.

As for nothing being spent on infrastructure, what rock has one been living under for the last few years? See here, and here.

All the best,

I apologize for going off topic and then answering an invalid response .

Congratulations on getting new speakers .   

Lets say I buy a $2000 pair of speakers Friends & Family...I also pay extra for insurance....but lets say the packing isn't great....insurance will blame the packaging and deny the claim...

so good luck getting the seller to give back $2000 in this situation. They did F&F to avoid this type of risk and will say they are not responsible for damage by the shipping company.   

....all in all, I’m happy to continue to buy the obscure and relatively inexpensive stuff that most wouldn’t bother to FYO with....

...although, a healthy ’paranoia’ can serve one well.... [] )

Good luck, @ozzy62
