Working on kicking it up a notch…

[spending way too much time over at Mattters. Who knew I had a thing for Cats and I already knew I loved Indian Food and High End Audio of course. Anyway, a great time waster… [aka information resource] …]

Anyway, we have decided that Audio Fed needs a kick in the pants – so we making a big push to sell our demo gear [No price too low! But seriously, make an offer, we will be nice. We promise] and reposition the store as one of the leading establishments in the world [which it already is in many ways] and to do that we need to make some exciting changes.

No, I can’t tell you what they are : … Neli will kill me if I post them.

But we need to sell some of this great gear we have sitting here before we do anything – so if you have had an eye on something – but thought you should wait… well, now you should NOT wait because these kinds of opportunities only come once or twice.

Hey, so we’re impatient. What’s new? There are things we need to buy, and before that happens we need to sell some things.

So that makes us…. what do they call it… motivated sellers 🙂

A new aggregator of used equipment for sale

There are several websites that list used equipment for sale. Here is a new website that makes a list of equipment, in this case McIntosh, that is for sale on Ebay:

http://www.mcintoshstereoamplifiers.com

I am curious how much people use sites like this. We thought of doing one, even of making it a page in the magazine each month, one that would display components for sale for all brands of equipment.

But then we thought that nobody would be all that interested in yet another classifieds page – and it would likely antagonize all the other sites that do this: Audio Asylum, AudioXSell, Audiogon, etc…. especially if we screen scraped them like Oodle does 🙂

You also got:

# eCoustics.com.
# Audio Video Marketplace
# Audio Shopper
# Avmarket
# Canuck Audio Mart
# HiFi Classifieds
# HigherFi

and every forum and forum wannabe has associated classifieds ads it seems.

Everyone wants to unseat Audiogon – but no one has made much headway as far as I can tell.
