What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong?

Audiogon has improved the site significantly just since I started coming here, about 2 years ago (to browse and buy - I only started posting later). The site still has a few minor quirks and a couple of functions that could be added or made better, but overall I'm extremely comfortable using it (I sometimes suspect too much for my own good!). And of course lots of helpful, worthwhile members - that's what makes a web community, so give yourselves a pat on the back.

Here's a couple of features I would like to see: 1) The ability to re-post a running classified ad back on the New Today page at any time for the usual charge; 2) A feedback system that calculates total ratings by unique posters only, instead of a simple aggregate - especially since, unlike a primarily auction-based, transactor-mediated site like ebay, the classified transactions that make up the bulk of A'gon trading are not verifiable, and anybody (even, in theory, somebody you haven't actually comsumated any business with) is free to access the feedback feature and post as many times as they like.

I would also like to see a catagory for Music Reviews!

A'gon's the best, and still my only - Hear Hear!

I second Zaikesman, I would like to see something beyond the MUSIC discussion forum in the way of music reviews.

Let each member assemble a virtual library to go along with their virtual system. Let it contain reviews in a well structured format that includes comments, a personalized wish list assembled from other people's reviews, a print feature for trips to the audio store, and a link feature for purchasing on line.

Add the special interactive features that make the virtual system feature so enjoyable to use.

I second Matty. It would be great to search the classifieds by price range.

This is the only site I frequent. Everything and, more importantly, everybody is here. Other sites are tough to navigate and use. Bravo!

For anyone reading this who has not joined into any discussions yet, jump on in! The water's fine.

I love this site. My petty recommendations would be to search classfieds by price range, indicate new discussion forum posts in such a way that would indicate if any new posts were added since last visit before opening, placing the Wanted To Buy section after the classifieds and before the discussion forums as I find myself in a very different mind set going from buying and selling to discussions, adding a rating scale for manufacturers, dealers and distributors regarding customer service and reliability issues, creating a suggested template for reviews (then current state of reviews is wanting) and adding a serial # field to the classifieds.

This site is great, coming from the standpoint of an audiophile. When I first discovered it I was addicted, every day for hours, answering threads starting them. Ive bought several things. Posted stuff for sale. It would be nice to go to browse, click category, and then click manufacturer, Say speakers,B&W, then all B&W speakers for sale would come up. Same for amps or anything else. This is good if your looking for a particular brand.
Also It would be great if Audiogon had a live chat room, so all audiophiles could get instant answers to questions and sellers and buyers could do quicker business. If it was based like the MSN chat rooms, that would be great. Speaker chat, amp chat, etc What do you think?
