everything looks good in the Preview, go ahead and finish listing. Please

| What is the
Audiogon BlueBook? |
We have collected an
extensive database of high-end audio models, and their observed resale prices on
the used market. Our BlueBook covers more than 25,000 models, with
original resale price, observed or estimated used prices, and some general info.
It also contains links to any online reviews, and other tools for you to
research the item in questions. The Audiogon BlueBook has tons of free
information, but you will need to pay a small fee to access the pricing data.
The remaining information is readily useful for any visitor. Take
a look

| What
is the Audiogon Grading Scale? |
It is often difficult to
gauge the physical condition of an item based on someone's description.
What exactly does "Mint" mean? Especially when everybody
seems to use it all the time? The Audiogon Grading
Scale is a standard scale that is used by audio dealers and reference books.
It is a 1-10 scale, with very specific criteria for each of the numbers.
Use this scale to describe your item's physical condition, and specify that you
are using the Audiogon Rating Scale. This gives the bidder a lot of
confidence in your description, bringing you higher bids.

| What
is the Manufacturer Directory? |
Sure, you've seen all the
links to the manufacturer's websites, but their websites have information on
their current models only. If you need information on an older model, or
need to confirm the version of your item, you need to call the manufacturer.
We have compiled phone numbers, addresses, and in some cases, contact persons to
help you find the information you need. The Manufacturer
Directory is an invaluable resource to buyers and sellers of high end audio
equipment.
