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.
