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.

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.
I offered an MSB Gold Link III (which I purchased for $999 from Northern Audio in Pittsburgh) here on AudiogoN at a fair market price; no one bit. So, I went to eBay and listed the item at my AudiogoN asking price ($700...it was a virtually new, mint condition piece, and MSB had just hiked the price up to $1800 or so). I then posted the eBay auction number on AudiogoN, just in case someone here hadn't seen the ad or had changed their mind. Turns out, eBayers bid the item all the way to $1,225, so I made well over $200 for having the Gold Link III for 3 months. I just thought it was fair to gove AudiogoNers a second shot, and it never occurred to me that any of them would be truly angered by that.
Okay, so I am a righteous goon. Bad day at work, I guess. I'm all for the capitalist way. Just had a bad case of "pretentious a**hole" or something. No bad feelings meant towards anyone. Please accept my humble appology.
I don't mind the "see Ebay listing" ads, sure beats the ads with the infamous "sale pending". Pet peeve...
Wait a minute, Jeffloistarca. I do the "sale pending" thing. Nobody posts like that upfront. That is a tag added when a sale is pending. If the deal falls through, I remove the "sale pending" tag. That way I don't waste other people's time who are interested, while I wait for payment. When I have have payment in hand, I pull the ad. If you have a better method, let me in on it.
