Jeff, can't you just leave the "obo" off your sale item? Perhaps I'm a rude dude, but if someone shot me a lowball offer on an ad I posted that didn't say "obo," I'd feel no compulsion to grace their message with a reply...
Suggested NEW CATEGORIES
Yesterday I emailed Audiogon that they create 2 new listings in their audio categories: "VINTAGE" & "TABLE RADIOS"
Many of us have, desire, or admire VINTAGE (for me that's pre-1980) audio gear. Much of these items are sold on (ahem) eBay...when they would do better, I believe, at Audiogon. How say ye?
Likewise, there are literally 10's of thousands of various TABLE RADIOS from the 1920's through the 1960's...georgeous to look at, warm and rich sounding (not all, mindyou), and can make a pointed addition to your home's decor. ADDISON radios, made in Toronto, are multi-coloured beauties which can fetch thousands of dollars. Adding such a category would also serve to "cross-pollinate" many collectors in the general populace with the audiophile community...a good thing...do you agree?
Audiogon has replied that they "will consider" such a suggestion. Any support from the members can only HELP!
