Like the new look to audiogon ?


Noticed this morning that a change happened on the site.   

If you go the category section and click on Amps / Solid State,  you then see all the thumbnails of the amps that are for sale.          Its a little confusing as first you see the BOOSTED LISTINGS, then after that is the FEATURED LISTINGS.....then you see ALL THE SOLID STATE LISTINGS. 

Gone is the category view of the listings......

No proof obviously but if you take the percentile of those who have bothered to post here ( and lets face it, pretty unanimous) then I would say its a very good guess.

Nothing gets people agitated nowadays like money, and for some who may have paid serious listing fees for higher priced items, this is bad news.

But here is an example, I placed an item for sale on USA audiomart yesterday morning. It sold in the evening to a buyer who was a first time visitor after reading this thread.
And that is the truth and maybe an isolated example but a bit of a coincidence don't you think.
I personally don't like the change, I say we stop buying for next little bit and see if they go back!
I am not here to argue with anybody or spread doom and gloom.
Its just how I see it from both a buyers AND sellers point of view.
Trust me I fervently hope they make the site usable again and quickly.
My morning fix of browsing the sales ads is nearly as effective as a double expresso!

Easy for me, since I don't need anything, but I do have a few things I was planning to sell - and will probably now wait.

I agree with you that US Audio Mart has improved considerably and certainly offers legitimate competition for used audio gear listings and sales.  To roll out the changes seen here just prior to 4th of July weekend is the business equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot.
