Good morning audiophiles!

My business partner, Todd DeSantis and I may have met some of you over the past year at Axpona and THE Show Newport but if we haven't, we are excited to meet you now and we invite you to come check out our fresh approach to HiFi Classifieds, audioflea.com.

A little about AudioFlea:


We felt our hobby deserved something fresh and better. We were struggling to find a platform where buying and selling audio products online didn’t leave us wanting more. Since we couldn't find a worthy option, we built one ourselves.

AudioFlea.com is a new eCommerce platform that we’ve built for you to connect with new and existing audiophiles online. We also are audiophiles and we love this world as you do. With backgrounds in web design and development, we worked hard over the past year and a half to present something fresh and easy to use to you all.

On our platform, every process is easy and quick.
For the first time, you can create multiple listings in a single page, so you will no longer waste your time repeating the same information over and over again.

The interface is simple and streamlined. You won’t find hundreds of advertisements popping up or any kind of distractions while working on your listings.

We have built AudioFlea to become the most engaging marketplace platform on the Internet with the aim of revolutionizing the way audio gear and music are bought and sold online.

AudioFlea Offers:
  • A new, modern platform with the fastest growing community to help expand your online outreach.
  • Find things easier with the most powerful search and faceted-navigation that the Internet has ever seen.
  • A listing creator page that enables thirty second listing creations. FOR REAL!
  • A multi-listing creator that enables you to create twenty listings or more on a single page!
  • A clean, modern site attracting a younger generation to join the audio revolution.
  • A vinyl/music marketplace that is at present completely free*
  • Responsive customer service and a direct channel to contact the AudioFlea staff
  • ....and a whole lot more

Help us make online HiFi Classifieds great again!

Please take a moment and peruse the site. We would appreciate any feedback and/or reviews from all members, you can put them right below on this thread! With your feedback, thoughts and ideas, we can continue to grow and make this platform something that all music lovers gather at to share their passion of great sounding music. If you like what you see, spread the word!

Thank you for your time, we look forward to getting to know you all!

Warmest regards,

Carolyn Pereira
Co-owner & Designer

Thank you Carolyn and best of luck to you and your partner in your new endeavor. Everyone has always wanted a new kid on the block to compete with the existing gorilla that we are forced to use as the gorilla is the main game in town. We all wish you success and welcome to WBF

Thank you very much Steve! That's our goal, we know we have an uphill battle ahead of us in terms of taking on said gorilla but as long as we have the support of the community (which has been incredible thus far) we will keep hiking that mountain! It is also our goal to expand the market to the younger generations as well to show them what they've been missing!

Please reach out to us anytime if you have any suggestions or feedback, all are welcome!

Yes! Thank you ack! That's what we're going for. We appreciate the kind words. Anything you see that might be missing just give us a shout, we have a list of future features we're looking forward to getting to once the initial launch excitement dies down a bit!

Hello Carolyn,

I am very pleased to read of your new endeavor and would like to become a member. At Audiogon I am known as Twb2, and used to be an active buyer and seller, but have been put off by their many changes and thus now rarely participate. I am delighted to have your site as a new option and will be listing some items soon.

Best wishes for your success,
Tom

Hi Everyone,

Todd from AudioFlea here, Carolyn's partner.

Thank you guys so much for the warm words! We are so excited to be entering into this community and giving something that we've put our blood, sweat and tears in.

As Carolyn mentioned, we would love to get your feedback and reviews! What do you like, what do you not like, and what would be "great to have" ?

Here's one thing that "I always wanted": An "Auto Notify" feature.

With this crazy hobby of ours, a lot of gear is somewhat... obscure. And amazing. Take my Piega speakers for instance. Without any present US distributor, these can be tricky to find.

However, what if your new favorite marketplace site LET YOU KNOW when certain items were listed, such as say "any piega speakers". Then, you don't need to come back to the site all the time to check "gee.. maybe someone listed some today?"

This is one of many, many things on our to-do list. Collaborate with us and let's make buying and selling hifi gear online easy and fun! :)

That would be an awesome idea Todd. I hope you could implement it. I have two items on my wish list already. They rarely come up and this feature would be a great asset to not only members looking but for sellers as well.

Hi Tom!

Thank you for your comment and for checking us out. We welcome you over to AudioFlea with open arms! We have felt the same way for some time and we built AudioFlea because of hearing the same complaints from an overwhelming amount of audiophiles. We hope we become your go to marketplace from here on out. As Todd mentioned, please let us know if there's anything you'd like to see or anything that frustrates you about the site!

Warmest regards,

Carolyn
