In Reply to: AUDIOGON ADS: DOES IT HURT PRODUCT'S IAGE? posted by bilguana on February 9, 2006 at 13:39:30:
Many (not all) of the dealers on Audiogon are sleazeballs. So if you were a manufacturer of high end gear, would you really want a sleazeball hucking your goods mostly via mail-order on Audiogon?I've purchased from a few of the better dealers, and corresponded with a few others. The discounts some of them offer can be pretty amazing - and seldom am I asked if I have a local dealer for a product. These are situations any smart manufacturer would frown on. I'm sure that more than a few of the "Showcase" dealers have lost product lines because of their online dealings.
