W27 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Even though I haven't been watching Audiogon like I used to, I am in need of a new piece of gear. I found something I want to buy, but it won't let me log in! I tried to reset my password and I keep getting an error message! It won't even let me buy anything! Plus I have many years of positive feedback, is that all gone? what a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I take back everything good or in defense of the new audigon. What a piece of flaming crap it is now. I can not even get to the site without errors. I was able to look at a few pages then got an error so I refreshed and it was fine. Now refresh doesn't work.... POS.

mike stehr Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Is Audio gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Is Audio gone? Well it is back to normal today but slow. I'm going to try to actually sell something on the new audiogon and see how that goes. I as experiencing internet rage last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 New slogan, "AudioGON, curing audio junkies from their illness." It has cured me. I hate the site now. I was a daily lurker, always looking, selling or buying. No more. I thought it was the worst redesign I had seen, glad I'm not the only one. The colors are bad; hard to read and scan through quickly. The photos in the ads are too small; requiring that all photos be enlarged to actually see them. Communication is done publicly; no private emails. And the list goes on; I just lose interest and skip off to another site. Well done Audiogon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I've changed my mind, I just can not get used to the site... the only thing I like better than the old is the ability to sort by value, listing date etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I hate the "new" Audiogon, how about you? I really hope someone is or will pay the price for this downrite STUPID move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Agon sellers must really be feeling the pinch... I've had two sellers that I regularly buy LP's from, email me there new "for sale lists" Never had that happen in the 8 or so years I've been going to it. Oh and did I say.... I really hate the new Agon site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnalogWave Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 So I bought something on Audiogon today from a well regarded seller. During our conversation the "new" Audiogon came up and, for the moment at least, while he's not a fan of the changes, he still feels it's better than eBay when it comes to the ratio of qualified buyers vs. scammers. We talked about eBay buying PayPal and the resultant rogering on both sides of the transaction. Then... in a matter-of-fact voice... he stated how it was unfortunate that Stereophile bought Audiogon and how he hoped the site somehow got back on course. I was too taken aback by the statement to question it, but again, the confidence in his voice was at DEFCON 2. It was my impression that it had been in the works for some time but was not widely known. I've not read about the subject extensively elsewhere - has anybody else heard of this merger?

Hifi jim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I was under the impression that Stereophile owned Audiogon prior to the websites redesign. I don't care for Stereophile's magazine or website design either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorcilantro Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Saw Chris VH comment at audio asylum ...not good. I find it hard to believe Stereophile is involved. Seems the agon phone is still Out of order...I'm now supporting Stereolist.com and the other new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I just checked out stereolist. Very easy to navigate through, nice pictures without clicking. It looks like its got potential. Thanks for the tip. Can you tell me the name of the other site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Wow! Just looked closer... They don't charge any commission for pieces sold and a 31 day sale add is only $1. That's what I'm talking about! Hope this catches on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoak Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's called "spin control". Audiogon went from FAT revenues to 0 revenue pretty much overnight with the new site. They're now in "OH CRAP... WHAT HAVE WE DONE...WHAT NOW?" mode. I really think that there's a tremendous opportunity here for someone. I wish I had the programming skills but I just don't. While I sincerely hope that they recover from their error I really don't think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I did go back last night and noticed there was less items for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
