Is Audiogon Representative of the Audiophile Market and Sentiment?

Actually, we had a thread on another forum start out as negative toward this forum and as it turned out? This forum fared rather well and it turned out to be a positive.

All forums differ for one reason or another, and each have their own attributes as well as deficiencies. We strive to have more attributes.

I have used AG buy/sell services and participated in their forums for many years, since the late 1990's. As my needs, system, and buying ability have evolved, so has the site, the industry, and many of the participants. Nothing stays the same. There are some good people posting, even though the forums occasionally disintegrate into dust-ups that polarize the participants. However, I still learn stuff from the forums and find them sometimes entertaining. I am not a fan of the continual CAPTCHAs, two-factor authentications, and fee processing (which caused me to switch to using USAM for buying/selling).

You put a lot of patient effort into achieving that positive outcome. Kudos.

Hello,

I'm not sure why you feel US Audio Mart is "still kinda unknown." I have used it for years. All of my friends know about it.

When I list a product on usam it'll go unnoticed until I co-list on agon then when I ask the buyer why they didn't reply to my usam add to avoid fees they say 'what's usam?' I know it's a small sample but it's the only one I got.
