MOD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] New Feedback Bot Online PLEASE READ

178 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am pleased to announce that r/AVexchange now has a feedback bot up and running!

The bot’s name is u/AVexchangeBot and has the following features:

Feedback

A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

Note, this document says the word "trade" a lot but that means, trading, purchasing, or selling.

  • Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).

  • Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original trade post tagging both the user they traded with and u/AVexchangeBot.

  • User B replies to that comment with their feedback.

  • u/AVexchangeBot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.

  • If User A messes up their top level comment, u/AVexchangeBot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

If you engaged in a trade with someone without starting off discussion in either one of your posts or theirs, please tag the bot in the most recent post from either you or your trade partner to engage for feedback. The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner.

DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

Using this link, you can send a message to u/AVexchangeBot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

  • The number of trades that person has done

  • The people they have traded with

  • A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the us, the moderators using modmail, if you do not know how to use modmail, please click this link.

If you notice any odd behavior from the bot, please let us know!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I had a ton of confirmed transactions before, what happened to my flair?

Flair was only backfilled for people who used the old feedback threads listed here, here, and here. If you never left a comment in these threads, or if you were never tagged in these threads, you did not get feedback backfilled.

I think I qualify to have feedback backfilled but my number is not quite right. What gives?

The scraping process was automated. This means that it was about 95% accurate. Some people might have a few more or fewer trades in their flair than they expect. Please do not request an adjustment unless you can prove that the difference between your flair and what you expect is > 10.

I never used those feedback threads you mentioned but I have done some trades/sales before. Can I still get credit?

Yes! You can follow the process detailed above to credit yourself for any trade you did not already get credit for. If the transaction happened > 6 months ago, you're out of luck though, due to Reddit limitations.

What happens if I tag someone and they don't reply?

As mentioned above, we do need them to confirm the trade for the trade to be confirmed. They will get a notification when you tag them so if you encourage them to reply in the comment you tagged them in, hopefully they will. Otherwise, if it's been a few days without a response, PM them a link to the comment and directly ask them to reply.


If you have any questions on using the bot, please post them here and I'll answer ASAP.

Thanks for being an awesome community, looking forward to this bot helping streamline the trading process!

MOD [MOD] Uptick in Scammers, Banned Users, Chat Requests & Fake Timestamps

74 Upvotes

I'm seeing a noticeable rise in scam activity on the sub, and I felt the need to make a post and remind everyone; especially newer members; to know what to watch for.

What's happening:

Banned users are on rise sending chat requests. People we've removed or have been removed via the USL are sending chat requests to hit up buyers directly. This circumvents the ban system as we cannot stop them from sending you a chat request. If someone sends you a chat and will not make a comment on your post after asking them to, it usually means they are banned as banned users cannot post or make comments. Their ban status can be checked via Universal Scammer List and typing in their name.

With the rise of AI, we are seeing a ton of fake timestamps being made. Scammers are getting accounts over the 3-month old age limit and making new WTS posts with essentially blank profiles and deals too good to be true. As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Having an older account with barely any history doesn't mean they are 100% a scammer but it's worth being cautious. Sometimes you can catch the photo being fake by looking at company logos or other text in the image that got screwed up in the generation. If anything feels sketchy, report it to the mod team to investigate.

How to protect yourself:

Never deal strictly in chat! If a user won't leave a public comment on your post after asking, check the USL and/or block/move on.

Always use PayPal Goods & Services (G&S) when you're the one paying. Yes, it costs a little more in fees, but it's your only real recourse if a deal goes bad. If anyone pressures you toward Friends & Family, crypto, gift cards, or Venmo/Zelle and you're not comfortable using one of those payment methods with the seller; you are not obligated or forced to.

Report anything sketchy to the mod team so we can investigate as well as scams that have unfortunately happened to you, it helps us protect the next person.

Stay safe out there!

$1640 net OBO, shipping included. If G&S, please add 3.5%.

Excellent Condition - Beautiful limited-edition Copper-Nickel version of Astell&Kern’s flagship compact DAP. Extremely clean and refined sounding with a pitch-black background, excellent separation and imaging, and smooth detailed treble. Very natural and balanced overall with a touch of added warmth from the Copper-Nickel version.

One of the best combinations of sound quality, portability, and build quality I’ve experienced in a DAP. It’s crazy how pocketable this thing is considering the level of performance it delivers. Only selling because I’ve decided to stick with my Cayin sources.

Includes original packaging, leather case, USB-C cable, and two new tempered glass screen protectors.

Smoke/Pet free home.

Will try to ship within 24 hours with signature confirmation.

Thanks!

WTS [WTS] [USA-MA] [H] Ampapa D1 power amp with VU meters & HPF, open box [W] local pickup Boston area, cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle

Available for purchase is an open box / like new Ampapa D1 amplifier TPA 3255. It has been opened and tested, but is otherwise new. Comes with original accessories: GAN power supply, remote, cable, box, documentation. Only sign of wear at all is a small tear on the paper accessories box. Asking $135.

It's a great value: powerful, small, attractive meter designs, glass top, customizable lights and swappable op-amps if you like to tinker. Best feature might be the adjustable high-pass filter for a true 2.1 setup. I just never ended up using it due to other equipment changes.

Local pickup in Arlington or Cambridge/Somerville.

Please comment before messaging.

WTB [WTB] [US-PA] [H] q1 Meta pair [W] One more q1 Meta or q250c

1 Upvotes

I currently have a pair of Q1 Metas and would like a third to use as a center speaker. If anyone has one for sale or would like to go in on purchasing a pair with me and splitting it that would be ideal.

This is my first time posting here so let me know if there’s anything else I’d need to post. Or if you have any ideas of a better way to do this. I’ve been keeping my eye on the used market and haven’t really seen anything come up.

I think a q250c might be nice but as new it was the same price as two q1 metas I think I’d prefer that. My space is pretty small anyway.

Just doing the annual cleanup. Assume that it will come with everything unless stated and also refer to pictures as well. If you want some more closeups feel free to PM and I can provide more photos.

Honestly prefer Zelle or Venmo or PayPal F&F but can do PayPal G&S with additional 6% tacked on.

Prices include shipping to continental US. If outside US feel free to pm but I can't cover shipping.

  1. Moondrop X Crinacle Dusk - $250 shipped, ended up upgrading to something else
  2. (Potentially sold, pending payment) 7hz Timeless - $100 Shipped, couldn't really get into these, tossing in aftermarket mic cable as well. I got these second hand with some light scuffing on the edges of the IEM but it's not too bad.
  3. Etymotic ER2SE - $65 shipped, barely used
  4. Etymotic ER3SE - $65 shipped, barely used
  5. Moondrop SSR - $20 Shipped, no use for these anymore
  6. Dunu Titan X - $20 Shipped, these just weren't for me
  7. Jialai Carat - $15 shipped, not for me
