  Merchants

Welcome
Retailers, whether you are bricks & mortar, clicks & mortar, or purely internet, you are welcome here.  The Videogon is a virtual shopping mall that specializes in quality audio video equipment.  Our mall currently receives about 16,000 unique visitors per day that are specifically in the market for high end audio products.  This is in addition to our 58,000 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 Videogon, 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 Videogon visitor buys seven high end components per year, in addition to numerous tweaks and cables.

About our team
The Videogon 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.   Videogon 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@videogon.com.
