Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN?


Does this bother anybody else? It sure does bother me. Why aren't these people using AudiogoN's fantastic auctioning system instead of badgering us with Ebay auctions? I understand seeking more bidders where they roam, but I for one am tired of reading "Up for auction at Ebay...". Am I just being a righteous goon? I have a very thick hide, so stab away if you feel so inclined.

Creeper, It's been my experience that for certain items, ebay bidders pay way too much. I sold a Rega P25 on Ebay for about $50 more than I paid on Audiogon. I did not advertise it on A'gon at all, but maybe I should have in order to get more bidders on ebay. After all, competition is the American way. If someone wants to pay the advertising in order to increase the number of bidders, more power to him.
Does not bother me. It is all about free markets. I agree that a lot of items fetch more on eBay. I also once got notice of a component I was looking for by reading a non eBay advert (not Agon) about an eBay auction. I ended up getting a great deal, because ironically, it was something they should have listed on Audiogon instead of eBay. It was probably the only Blue Circle component ever on eBay and I got it really cheap. It was also a Canadian seller, which probably does better here than eBay, for audio.
There are some items that are better listed on ebay, for one it definetly gets more exposure and certain times will obtained a greater price than on audiogon, now who wouldn't enjoy that prospect. It also eliminates the number of tire kickers and hi-fi buddy inquires, perhaps you could just skip over those threads with titles referencing ebay auctions, this should eliviate your problem.
