Agon is now a retail outlet.

This site has been taken over by retail outlets that also advertise on Ebay and other sites, posing as bargain outlets and asking prices that are close to retail for used items and raising the prices of older items to ridiculous multiples of their original prices under the guise of VINTAGE, when the items are often those that you wouldn't but in a thrift shop or pawn shop for more than 20% of retail even if you could find them since their rarity is based on the fact that Made In Japan was equivalent to what Made in China means today. To boot these items are old enough so that their capacitors and many other parts require replacement in order to remove the risk of fire from faults in their circuitry due to age. This is the reason there is no link to OWNER ONLY ads. Audiogon would lose much of their revenue from providing such a link.

I wish nothing but the best for Audiogon!  It’s a fun and interesting resource, for the most part. I’ve bought and sold here and had great experiences.  The day it adds no value to my audio interest will be the day I stop visiting the site.

Audiogon is great. I've had great experiences purchasing and selling. The people on Audiogon have educated me and provided a social gathering of like minded individuals. Music comes first, equipment second.

Boy you guys are very opinionated. Good. It may actually lead to rational thinking, eventually.

No issues with any sort of transaction here on the market site.

Only issue I have is that the Listing and selling prices have increased dramatically, in some case nearly double! 


What are seller fees?

Seller fees are the various costs and charges incurred in listing an

item on Audiogon. There are two types of fees a seller may be

expected to pay: Listing Fee and Transaction Fee.

Listing fees are the cost associated with placing an ad or auction on

Audiogon. There is a $5 minimum listing fee for all listings on

Audiogon.

Transaction fees are the cost associated after a listing is sold on

Audiogon.


What does it cost to sell equipment on Audiogon?


Users can choose between two listing types: Pay Now and Pay

Later.


Pay Now listing fees are calculated at 2% of the item’s list price—

with a $5 minimum—but incur no transaction fees. There is a

maximum listing fee of $700 for Pay Now Listings.

Pay Later listings have a $5 listing fee no matter the list price, but

incur a 3.5% transaction fee if the item is sold. There is no

transaction fee if the item does not sell. Audiogon has a minimum

transaction fee of $5 and a maximum transaction fee of $700.


Unlike eBay, we don't calculate transaction fees off sales price and

shipping cost, only on the sales price.

Below are several examples. Total cost assumes item sold:

$50 Item

Listing Type Listing Fee Transaction Fee Total Cost

Pay Now $5 $0 $5

Pay Later $5 $5 $10

$1,000 Item

$21,000 Item

Listing Type Listing Fee Transaction Fee Total Cost

Pay Now $20 $0 $20

Pay Later $5 $35 $40

Listing Type Listing Fee Transaction Fee Total Cost

Pay Now $420 $0 $420

Pay Later $5 $700 $
