0 feedback sellers

Many of us were "O" feedback sellers at one point (selling stuff before buying), but I agree with the post above, a phone call conversation does wonders and goes a long way to removing concern. Audiogon has been very good to me..

I generally agree with Viridian, although I'm a little more careful with 0 fb's than lots of fb's. I'm not opposed to a phone conversation, but prefer a record, and find if the seller is able and willing to correspond clearly and precisely, the odds are the deal will work out fine. I think this also applies to much feedback sellers. There are plenty of Audiogon sellers with pos feedback who want to be terse in their emails, which leaves too many things to chance for my taste.

Don't assume a good long ph.call makes this an honest person. Just 'cause they talk the talk; don't mean nothin. Yes, I had such an experience with a talker. A while latter the same guy changed user names and had 2 dispute cases pending. Hey be careful out there;it's your money.

I wouldn't do any business with Viridian under any circumstances. To state that most of Audiogoners are on the fringes of society is very demeaning and indicates a person with an attitude of superiority over the rest of us. Just my opinion, but it personally offends the hell out of me as I have talked to many fine Audiogoners and I don't consider them to be on the fringes of society. What do other Audiogoners think of Viridian's comments?
