Welcome
Retailers, whether you are bricks & mortar, clicks
& mortar, or purely internet, you are welcome here. The Audiogon is a
virtual shopping mall that specializes in quality audio video equipment.
Our mall currently receives about 5,600 unique visitors per day that are
specifically in the market for high end audio products. This is in
addition to our 18,000 membership base. You will see all types of specs
for a website, much like amplifiers. The same levels of exaggeration are
common, only you will hear about Hits instead of Watts. The only spec that
counts is "Unique Visitors".
Like high end audio, our virtual mall emphasizes
quality over quantity. The Audiogon, unlike eBay or Yahoo, attracts the
specific customer that you are looking for. Our selective marketing,
customer support, and user friendly technologies attract consumers that you will
not find at other venues. Our research shows that that the typical
Audiogon visitor buys seven high end components per year, in addition to
numerous tweaks and cables.
You the merchant are an important piece of our
business plan. In order for high end commerce to flourish there must be
knowledgeable dealers. You are encouraged to read on to determine at what
level you wish to participate at the "Gon".

About our team
The Audiogon was founded by a specialty audio retailer, an
investment management executive, and an e-commerce expert. Our goal is to
provide a comprehensive virtual marketplace for high end audio and home theater.
We started by building the best pre-owned audio marketplace in the world.
Then we invited retailers to set up their shops in our bustling high end mall.
Next we will be spinning off the retail sales to a separate site which will
promote products from authorized dealers only. Audiogon collects the
experiences of its numerous dealers to chart a course for this industry on the
internet. If you wish to participate in naming our new "dealers
only" marketplace, please submit your choice to sales@audiogon.com.
