What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong?

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?

It would be nice to be able to pull up "new 2 days" listings and then re-order them according to price high to low or vice-versa.

I like the forums. In the olden days we would hang out at stores and talk audio with fellow 'philes, dealers, manufacturers' reps etc. Colorful characters and interesting ideas. Now, although I'm not necessarily persona non grata, I feel a little sheepish about visiting dealers since I do most of my shopping online. Audiogon has become a surrogate for this activity. Although it is a little impersonal you can't beat its operating hours. Perhaps pics of frequent contributors would be helpful!

From offline discussions I know that the regular posters, as good as they are, represent only the tip of the knowledge base iceberg that visits the site. Then as now, I mostly absorb the collected wisdom (with a grain of salt) but occasionally burp something out like this. I wish more people would post.
