Has anyone been banned from Steve Hoffman Forums?

@jakobian64-I don't question what you wrote, but that seems crazy, i've purchased a few WLPs there, and unless there was some misunderstanding on the part of the Gort, I can't see why that would be a problem. (Their only issue is bootlegs, but that's not what you were selling).
In terms of alternatives, not many. Discogs and Ebay are the typical places. I had conversations with several large dealers about an alternative site for play graded high end records and almost universally, the dealers believed that the reach of e-Bay and Discogs outweighed any merits to a 'vetted' sellers forum. As you probably know, grading is all over the place, even play grading. Obviously, you'll get hammered by wholesaling them, so I'd be interested to see what alternatives others suggest. I do buy from private dealer websites, but they don't have nearly as much visibility. A show might be a good bet if you are up for it. Although the Austin show is considered one of the biggest, I think the WFMU show in NY is the best show I've been to in the States in terms of quality and buyers of high ticket records. That's probably a logistical nightmare for you. Do they have pop up record shows near you? I know there are a few that my friend in Philly goes to-- much high quality, obscure, and desirable stuff. 

I’ve been bnned. I learned that some members cannot be questioned. I rejected a suggestion and backed it up with data. 

Personally, that forum can rot. But like
Any other forum, I use it as a tool. As long as I can search it via google I’ll get what I need. I don’t use forums to make friends.

I have had poor luck in the last few years on Discogs. Today when I have LPs to sell, I sell on Audiogon and play-grade every one you list if that’s possible for you time wise...

I've been a member there for about a year.  At first it was fun, and kind of addictive.  I've met some nice people on there, but the vibe is very strange.  There are people on there that will attack you for nothing, and others will pile on.  If you politely try to defend yourself, either Steve or the Gorts will swoop in, and it feels like they are on the attackers side.  Steve seems to have a snobby attitude, and he'll give the business to anyone he darn well pleases, but don't you dare do the same.  I've been attacked several times for being positive, and trying to take the high road on issues.  I'm not a hater, so I feel like an outsider on there.  I don't post there anymore, because the whole, my favorite band is better than your favorite band stuff is really childish and boring.
