EBAY IS DANGEROUS! Recently sold a pair of speakers there. The buyer upon receipt, opened the cabinets (not sure why) and claimed the speakers had been tampered with, were faulty and 3 of the 4 wires were missing and not connected. Well, There should have only been 2 wires. I can only assume that somehow he either dmaged the speakers or just didn't want them. He, wanted his money back. I, not wanting to be stuck with damaged speakers, of course, refused hie request. I'm sure to get negative feedback from this clever EBAY shopper. Just because EBAY members (or Audiogon members for that matter)have positive feedback doesn't mean your deal will go well. !@@$#@@% EBAY!
Buyer Beware!
Man, I'm pissed! What about sellers that post over $6000 in analog gear then they don't return any email answers for 2 days. Then you find after your 4th email the seller has deleted the item. He answered the 5th email in which I asked for an explanation with "when I checked my email this morning I had 50 emails on the _____ and I sold it to the first email which I thought was fair and deleted the listing since it was sold" This item was posted for sale at approximately 50 % of retail at around 11pm est this past Wednesday evening and I emailled immediately with a message I would pay his asking price. He didn't answer until after his deletion with his lame reply. I feel as though someone's full of sh*t. I can't leave negative feedback as there was no transaction per se. So buyers beware of first time sellers here. And check them for feedback or lack of. I've been a member of this community for about 6 months and really like buying and selling here. I also enjoy the boards. Maybe the Powers that Be here could create a new class of sellers here. Like something along the lines of a Verifed Seller or denote on posted ads that the individual is a first time seller. I apologize for blowing off steam, but I still think I've been lied to by someone who still has other gear posted here for sale.
