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 second Zaikesman, I would like to see something beyond the MUSIC discussion forum in the way of music reviews.

Let each member assemble a virtual library to go along with their virtual system. Let it contain reviews in a well structured format that includes comments, a personalized wish list assembled from other people's reviews, a print feature for trips to the audio store, and a link feature for purchasing on line.

Add the special interactive features that make the virtual system feature so enjoyable to use.
I second Matty. It would be great to search the classifieds by price range.

This is the only site I frequent. Everything and, more importantly, everybody is here. Other sites are tough to navigate and use. Bravo!

For anyone reading this who has not joined into any discussions yet, jump on in! The water's fine.
I love this site. My petty recommendations would be to search classfieds by price range, indicate new discussion forum posts in such a way that would indicate if any new posts were added since last visit before opening, placing the Wanted To Buy section after the classifieds and before the discussion forums as I find myself in a very different mind set going from buying and selling to discussions, adding a rating scale for manufacturers, dealers and distributors regarding customer service and reliability issues, creating a suggested template for reviews (then current state of reviews is wanting) and adding a serial # field to the classifieds.
This site is great, coming from the standpoint of an audiophile. When I first discovered it I was addicted, every day for hours, answering threads starting them. Ive bought several things. Posted stuff for sale. It would be nice to go to browse, click category, and then click manufacturer, Say speakers,B&W, then all B&W speakers for sale would come up. Same for amps or anything else. This is good if your looking for a particular brand.
Also It would be great if Audiogon had a live chat room, so all audiophiles could get instant answers to questions and sellers and buyers could do quicker business. If it was based like the MSN chat rooms, that would be great. Speaker chat, amp chat, etc What do you think?
It would be nice to be able to pull up "new 2 days" listings and then re-order them according to price high to low or vice-versa.
