Free isn't the answer. As you point out, lots of sites offer free ads and they get no traffic.What it boils down to is the President/ Boyfriend conundrum. No matter how bad policitans (or partners) screw you, people still vote for the guy they know is no good good over the unknown who promises change. Why? With the former, at least you know how bad you're getting it, the other guy is unknown, and people fear the unknown.
The answer, and I think the problem with the other things, is they are not slick. They look amateurish or are just text blurbs. Who wants to waste time trying to sell a 4 grand amp that way? If I do it, you can believe the main page is going to SCREAM "this is the promised land". It will look a thousand times better than audiogon as well, and it will be run that way.
Everyone here is sick of the situation. I am too. I'll give it a shot. If nobody supports the attempt then the community deserves the gouging it gets. I'm not interested in even making money from it, so long as I don't loose any. I am simply tired of us not having a viable option.
And the first thing to do is court the dealer/manufacturers. I steal them, A-gon will be long gone.....
It's all about the music...
