Hooray!

A viable alternative to Audiogon!


 Used Audiogon for years, bought and sold a ton of stuff on there. Also Audioweb before it unfortunately fell victim to scammers. Audiogon has been sold a couple of times, and is a mere shell of what it used to be! They started charging posting fees and percentages (like Ebay) a few years ago, and fell off in popularity. At one point Stereophile (magazine) owned them, not sure who does now. All ads were duplicated under Stereophiles's classified section. They probably have one third the listings the had in their peak fifteen or so years ago.


   Now comes US Audio Mart, a site site run by Canuck Audio Mart.


     http://www.usaudiomart.com/


  For 11 years the Canuck site has been very successful, available only to Canadians, and now they have branched out to other regions.Best of all it is free for hobbyists like us! There have been a few free classified sites, but very few people have placed ads on them. This one appears to be taking off. It is a mix of individuals and dealers alike, has a nice layout and the option to post decent photos. A feedback system will keep most people on the level. Some people just don't like selling on Ebay, myself included. This is more of a hobbyist specialized site. The search engines are good, you can search by state, type of equipment, and by member listings.


   Hooray!
