buyer beware of late

Did anyone else respond to the "unbeleavable" listings lately, like the B&W 800's for $3000 or the N802's for $3200...new members with no feedback. I received the message from Audiogon saying the members were "questionable" and not to do business with them. Same thing happened today with a listing for a Jadis integrated amp. I guess the only safe bet is to stay away if there's no feedback..but that doesn't do much for the legitiment new members trying to get established.

try COD with them.So the new memer will get feedback and the crook will refuse to do it.

I spotted three adds in "full range speakers" last night that looked very questionable. All ended with the word "used." All the adds were marked sold within just a few minutes of being opened and they had shared feedback. Looked liked feedback fraud to me.

I hear you. I find myself asking these new members with O feedback if they will ship and use Escrow. Of the few I have contacted most reply no or I get no reply at all. We were all new at one time and it is more difficult today then what is was in the past. It does make it tough on new members that are legit and want to get started in buying and selling in this crazy hobby.
