25.00 flat rate shipping


Audiogon sent me an e-mail yesterday that for 25.00 you can advertise a piece of equipment and pay no commission. You can also Include you're phone # in the ad. What is you're opinion about this?

Our new $25 listing includes:

NO TRANSACTION FEES – just pay the $25 when you list
the ability to add a VERIFIED PHONE NUMBER for prospective buyers to ask questions
up to TWELVE PHOTOS per listing!


No worries: Our standard $4 listing pricing will remain unchanged. It will continue to be $4 to list an item and a 2% transaction fee, charged when the item sells (min of $1, max of $100).

Have you been thinking about listing something for a while? Spring into action, and try our new listing type TODAY. To take advantage of this new $25 listing type, simply select this option on the Sell an Item page, as seen below.

Still not 100% guaranteed the seller is actually that of the username listed on the ad.

I would still verify the ad was listed by the true owner of the Agon member username listed on the ad.

The only verified way now is to send an email though the Agon system to the username listed on the ad.

My bad. There wasn't an either/or and somehow I glossed over "standard" which would have implied two of something. I guess my ability to infer is getting worse due to my cynical nature. :-)

All the best,

"I guess my ability to infer is getting worse due to my cynical nature. :-)"

and why is that? so many years of experience and less tolerance for the bs presentation of things as better, note the small print. I hear you nonoise :)

Overall I feel this is a definite improvement. At least there is more than one option, semi kudos to Audiogon!
This is a huge improvement and a must for expensive gear that demands a phone call. Very good move Agon.

VERIFIED PHONE NUMBER??

Verified by who? By AudiogoN?

Is AudiogoN guaranteeing the phone number listed in the ad is in fact, VERIFIED, that of the username listed on the ad?
