When did AudiogoN become a Showcase for The Music Room?

I get that AgoN has to make money but this is too much.  When I see a succession of ads with oddball prices (e.g., $1724), I know to skip.  This reseller appears to work on a percentage basis for private sellers looking to cash out.  I had a good transaction once with TMR but the prices seem to be high retail, little price flexibility, and the time I tried to ask a question I could not reach the person with authority to speak.  This takes the fun out of taking a flyer and experimenting with pre-owned gear for me.
I find myself spending more time on hobbyist resale sites.  Interested to know what others think.

TMR is a good company. I bought from them twice and the products were fairly priced and as described. No complaints about that.   However, they do flood the classifieds.  I posted something for sale a while back. I waited until a Friday afternoon so it would have a decent chance to sell and I was at the top of the list.  TMR then proceeded to flood the classifieds with close to 80 items and my ad ended up way down the list at the bottom of the page.  I guess no one noticed it and after 30 days I reposted the ad. Back at the top of the page it sold very quickly. 

I think there should be a separate classified section strictly for dealers.   This way, all of us can be happy.
