Couple of thoughts Ozzy:
1. Your questions suggest our Trader is not a success. I was not aware of that fact. I've sold and bought using the Trader and it worked well for me. And I see lots of stuff being advertised and sold, so it seems to me its successful. I, too, want it to be successful. So why is it not a success as far as you're concerned? What do you consider successful?
2. Do you really want to turn the Trader into another Audiogon? That big? With all its attendant problems, which, at least in part it would appear, were the reasons for its downfall and the creation of the Trader.
3. Perhaps some of the 'disconnect' is the fact that the Trader has other very significant competitors and buyers and sellers have other sales/purchase outlets other than Audiogon, to wit, for example, US AudioMart, AudioKarma's BarterTown, AudioCircle's TradingPost, etc.
4. I, for one, like the fact that the Trader is free. Free is an endangered species these days. I wouldn't like the Trader to be another forum that charges to buy/sell things.
