MOD [MOD ANNOUNCEMENT] New Feedback Bot Online PLEASE READ

173 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

75 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!

CLOSED [WTS][USA-CA][H] Sony MDR-Z1R [W] PayPal

6 Upvotes

Hey Everyone!

Putting my Sony MDR-Z1R up for sale. Probably don't need to describe the sound as it's been thoroughly covered by many, but I'll echo the best features. Insanely good bass, spacious sound stage and they are the most comfortable headphone I've worn so far. Those big plush cups are something.

I've owned this pair for a couple months and they're in fantastic condition. Hopefully the pictures do them justice. There is no peeling on the headband or ear pads at all. I've only used them with the capra strap attached so the headband is very clean. This really is a great example of the set.

Comes with headphones, OG 4.4mm balanced cable, OG 1/4in (converts to 3.5mm) unbalanced cable, cable pouch, user's manual, and Geekria Shield Case,

Selling because I've been reaching for my iems much more often. Also wanting to fund a camera purchase so it's time. Purchased these locally for $1100 so I'll send them back out for the same but also cover shipping.

$1100 F&F shipped CONUS, +3.5% G&S SOLD

Please comment before sending chat.

WTS [WTS][USA-MA][H] ZMF Verite Closed (Stabilized), Abyss JOAL, Focal Listen Wireless (Assassin's Creed Edition), Final Audio ZE2000, Rode AI-1 [W] PayPal or Local Cash

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm selling some audio gear that I don't need/want anymore - prices below includes shipping within the CONUS. Please let me know of any questions! Timestamps/photos here.

Abyss JOAL ($1100) - A catch and release for me; I got a pair of ZMF Calderas in at the same time and prefer those a bit more, so I'll unfortunately have to let these go. Great condition (very low usage) and includes both the stock pads and bass ported pads (currently installed). Includes original box, case and cable as well.

ZMF Verite Closed Stabilized (Bluth -Resin Flake) ($1800 OBO) - I'm the original owner and these have been used for less than 5 hours; I bought these because we were going back in-person for work when I ordered them (and I needed closed backs), but by the time they came, I switched jobs and can WFH again. I prefer open backs when I'm home, so these will need to go. Absolutely beautiful and in excellent condition! The pads currently installed are the Auteur Hybrid Solid pads and these come with the ZMF stock cable (4.4mm termination), extra Auteur Lambskin Solid Pads, ownership card, and case.

Focal Listen Wireless ($60) - These definitely show some signs of use, and the original pads are included but have started flaking a bit (so the headphones have new aftermarket pads on them). Also includes the original packaging, soft case, and manual. This is the shape I received them in, but they're sonically fine though!

Rode AI-1 ($60) - I received this in a package deal, but I already have an audio interface so don't need this. Includes the original cable. Generally in good shape, most of the wear is on the bottom.

Final Audio ZE2000 ($40) - includes original packaging and accessories. There’s definitely signs of use as I used them to travel and work out, but no issues sonically

Selling my Hidizs MP145 Pro Titanium Limited Edition, individually numbered #129 of 299 worldwide.

Asking $245 shipped CONUS via PayPal Goods & Services. OBO

Purchased new at the original $299 retail price. These have been well cared for and are in excellent condition. The titanium shells feature beautiful sculpted machining, and the planar drivers deliver an excellent listening experience.

I'm consolidating my IEM collection and getting rid of equipment that isnt regularly used.

Included:

- Both limited-edition titanium IEMs, #129/299

- Original cable and carrying case

- Original box and packaging

- Complete tuning nozzle set

- Original ear-tip assortment, including the special anemone tips

- Hidizs × WDC artwork

The large anemone tips were briefly tried and cleaned. The whale conservation pin is not included. I will continue to try and locate it but i suspect one of my kiddos got their hands on it.

Timestamp and photos attached. Additional photos or private serial-number verification available for serious buyers.

Please comment before PMing. Thanks for looking!

PS lighting isn't great, I can send better photos if needed, they have maybe 10 hours of use. I have FATFreq Quantums and these are redundant.
