to hear potential buyers are leaving in droves
Even though I was making a music-reference joke, that statement is an example of panic. Do you have evidence that buyers are in fact leaving "in droves" or is it just the responses of the posters here, who probably make up a fairly small percentage of potential buyers that visit this site.
Don't misunderstand, I too believe the changes are ill-conceived, poorly implemented, and anything but user-friendly, but I suspect Audiogon will listen, improve the situation, and carry-on as they have done for over 20 years. Every time they change stuff, there is always a lot of posturing and people saying "I'm leaving" but few ever do.
However, I will say this is the largest collective disgruntlement I have ever seen here, about anything. So they do need to listen-up.
