Thanks, Jack! I hope to participate more here when I get some free time. As it is, well, you know

A lot of guys here are like you and me, really serious about our.....COOKING Yeah, audio too.

I haven't updated my GS page yet. I'm kinda backward and have to get up to speed with these darn fangled social network interfaces. Been hanging around BBs too long. LOL. I'll get around to it by the end of the month I think.

I think you're right on Jim

I think you're right on Jim

0 feedback = RED FLAG!

Agree with Steve, esp. when "they're in a hurry." Total scam!

How many days has it been now and the site still sucks big time. Anyone posting a item for sale make sure you add your own contact info within.

Obviously don't listen to his tune; it is full of false notes.

I got the exact same email on one of my ads.

From the Audiogon site, it seems they are no longer in "beta" and that all of the problems including viruses and malware have been quashed.

Is everyone finding it better now or are they just sugar coating their response

I just finished a long session with it reviewing things I haven't been able to for over two weeks now. Seems quite peppy and with no errors. I have a hard time with their explanation of web crawlers causing the slowness and errors, though. If they had it running on adequate hardware with an efficient database engine they would not have been having those problems in the first place.

Still, NONE of the transitional bugs that screwed up all my ongoing auctions during and after cutover, and the history of many others have been fixed, or even touched as far as I can tell, despite my reporting it at least three times. Still no ability to close listings because they're screwed up and the software thinks they're waiting on payment or other such state. When they get all that fixed, THEN I'll be a believer.

Looks like it crashed again. They really do not seem to know what they're doing!

Apparently, when you are a monopoly, accountability, testing, performance, reliability, and customer service are not key issues!

 

[MarinJim]

It really is a bit disconcerting. To have a large % of the market and charge what they do, maybe hire web masters more competent?

Has any one gone onto Audiogon today? I went on earlier and the site was down and just checked and it's still down from my computer anyways.

This new site really sucks big time, how long has it been now.

I recently placed a classified item under "auction" if you read prior to posting it reffers to you receiving a copy email from anyone bidding along with their actual bid. Well I had numerous bids and not one reply so this contradicts such. When I went threw the process of contacting someone at Audiogon to get an answer why what a joke that was never mind awaiting for a reply.

The reply being we are working on it and hopefully in the near future have such in place but thank you for your patience Shanon.

Patience, this is crap!

Never mind they have eliminated in the threads section not allowing members to send or receive emails, dictatorship or what.

This site really sucks big time!

I was attempting to start a Charlotte area audiophile group and we were making progress.....until they cut off offline communications between the members. How lovely.

The 'gone just keeps digging their grave deeper and deeper. It's time for someone to step up to the plate, IMO.

 

[Steve Williams]

Trust me when I tell you that we have done due diligence on this issue looking for an alternative solution. However it will not only take huge sums of money, it is tantamount to David taking on Goliath and could be doomed to failure

 

[treitz3]

If they keep going in the direction they are going in, they may not be Goliath anymore at some point.
