In Reply to: Audiogon does it again posted by tetsuo on July 1, 2007 at 00:25:17:
I suspect they implemented this change because there have been a number of Audiogoners who have been using the same ad to sell multiple items during the 30 day period. What they do is buy a single ad, post something for sale, then re-do it for the next item when the first item sells. I watched one ad get changed 7 times in 30 days; each time it was edited it was selling a new item.
If you look at it from Audiogon's POV, that's a lot of revenue they are losing. Unfortunately, like many rules and laws that attempt to control illicit or unethical behavior, honest people are negatively impacted way out of proportion.
