Be nice to nOobs


I'm fairly new to good audio, and very new to Audiogon. What a great site! I looked at all the goodies, and thought, "This is a great way to try different stuff, sell it if I don't like it, and really listen to a wide range of gear until I decide what I like."

My problem is this: I've made several offers at full price, but in most cases never even received a reply. Is this normal, or is it maybe because I don't have a track record at A-gon? I've sent follow-up e-mails asking if the stuff is still available . . . and again gotten no answer.

I welcome any advice on what I'm doing wrong or could do better. I'm a noOb, but I'm a serious buyer, and getting tired of feeling "like chopped livah".

Regards,
David

Welcome, David. The response (or lack thereof) you have received is rude, but unfortunately it seems to be the way of some communication these days. Perhaps it's because of your lack of feedback, or perhaps it's because you've coincidentally contacted only dud/uncommunicative sellers.

In any case, keep plugging away at the offers. Sooner or later you'll receive a pleasant reply, and a transaction will follow shortly thereafter.
