Does anyone answer e-mail? Hello?


I'm new to AudiogoN, having signed on to facilitate purchasing some equipment to round out a couple of my systems, as well as partake of all the experience others have. Out of the last 13 e-mails I have sent to sellers inquiring about their components for sale, exactly TWO have responded. Is this the norm for this board? If so, I'm better off on e-bay. I'm very disappointed to find that noone seems very interested in selling the equipment they list. Has this been anyone else's experience, or am I missing something here?

I have been on Audiogon at least a few years and I guess I have been lucky. I would say 90% of my emails are answered the same day by friendly knowledgeable Audiogoners. Good luck!
You'll find both in here: those who answer right away and those who don't in ages, if at all!
As regards of sellers not answering I found that some just post as a test, to see if and for what price there would be interest out there.
In short: it's like in real life. At least you can find some very nice people in here no matter if you buy, sell or just have questions.
E-bay is something completely different and the high end section there is marginal.
Cheers
I have posted quite a few ads on this site and a couple of times when checking on "my page" I noticed that members have emailed me about a particular item but I never did receive the emails. Seems unlikely that this would account for the lack of response in your case but it can happen from time to time.
