Audiogon is at it again!

I got a nice little message from Audiogon today, asking me to sign in and "Please follow the link from your My Page and complete your Bus. Dev. User application."

Curious, I decided to sign in and see what it was all about.

It said,
"Business Development Users may register, bid, and buy for free. Listings items for sale involves a very small fee:"

Registration Free
Bidding Free
Use of My Page Free
Classified Ad $15.00 each
Auction Listing $15.00 each
Sales Commission None

(Small fee? $15 per ad? That's hilarious)

So who gets this notice?

"We may classify you as a Business Development User if:
- You sell a lot more items than you buy through Audiogon, even if not as a business.
- You advertise for sale "new" or "demo" items, even if not as a business entity.
- You post large quantities of listings, even if they are repetitive of the same items."

Hmm,
That could be anyone couldn't it?

I no longer sell business items through them, and haven't since the end of 06, just personal items. There were a few things that I never used that I advertised as new a few weeks ago, so I guess that was enough for them to tag me.

So head's up gang, the Audiogon greed machine is revving up again.
