Does anyone use Audiogon anymore? I haven't been there in awhile, and it seems to me it has dropped, where The Music Room has picked up over the last few years..

And they want you to have a CC on file to even respond to an Ad..

Like I said, I haven't been on there for some time, so maybe it's just me.. :D

    I hated AG decades ago. No communication between members (unless you buy something) and when the greed really hit? It's been downhill ever since.

    Sad, but true...

    Audiogon has definitely seen better days.
    I only go there to read a few of the forum posts anymore.
    Used to be the place to buy used gear. It's been turned into an advertisement haven for the new owners as a money grab and the members have suffered.

    That there is a big no go for me. The amount of websites getting hacked these days is off the charts. Last year I received at a minimum 6-7 notices from different companies that my info was lost in a hacking attack. These days it's not IF it will happen, because IT will happen.

    Not to mention the "acceptance" of trolls. It's overwhelming these days. Folks like WillyM2 and Jujiku are more commonplace than not
