What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong?


Ok, a little self reflection...

What do you think Audiogon does right (or the best)?

What do you think Audiogon does wrong?

Personally I love the Virtual Systems, whoever thought of this should get a gold star.

The thing I last like about this site has to do with Auctions. I think the high bidder should be listed (like ebay does for auctions that are not private) for each item. When I cannot tell who I am bidding against, I sometimes am hesitant to bid.

I am a critical person, but right now, I don't think audiogon is doing anything wrong. The only thing that comes to mind was the voting, etc. done in the past.

The best thing, I think, is how the classifieds are managed.
The effective search engines - search for information, search for gear, buy quality equipment well below retail. The post archives contain a wealth of useful information.

So far, I haven't found much use for the new equipment reviews feature. The discussion forum is already more effective covering this ground.
This site is near perfection. Let's keep in mind that this is a business model and that the features we enjoy the most are meant to keep us coming back. It's a rare finished product that maintains viewer interest and makes money. They have done it so well that I sometimes forget this is how the owners earn their living. This, my friends, is the internet at it's best.

I'm with Albert about enjoying the photographs and personal bio's. This forum is by far my favorite feature. I especially love the threads that evolve quickly into humorous posts.

Note to any Audiogon techs that may be following this thread: Sometimes images are slow to load even with my high speed connection. I have a free resizing program that discards the uploaded image after the resized one resides on the server. Contact me if you would like a copy. My web site serves the Realtor community and as such is heavily involved with images, many of which are virtual tours. While we don't have your volume of traffic, our bandwidth usage must exceed yours and our images load must faster. Can you accomodate virtual tours being posted?
Ok,I envy you guys with your dsl's. I'm a webtv user and this sight is faster than any other of this type. (pictures and all) As a buyer /seller--the feedback system is the "gem" of the sight. Since the caustic contributer has been removed from the forums this is "the Dream-Site".Well done AudiogoN,and thank you.
I love this site, I do not feel there is one better on the Net. Near perfect. One wish:

I wish I could search by price level; I.E. $100-$500, $600-$1000, etc.
