My audio dealer has a guy. All this guy does is sell used audio equipment (big, medium and small stuff) online via several forums. He knows his way around. He assumes a !0% service fee for his work, and for me it is well worth it. He gets the best deal he can find out there. I don't have to deal with back & forth, packing & shipping, and so on. It is a great service for an audio dealer to provide. They accept my stuff, sell it for me, I get some cash back in the ledger, then I can use it to actually get something I need.
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
I was a victim of the most unpleasant experience just recently.I thought i was buying a preamp, but it proves i have been sending money to a scammer. It turns out the seller had been using a stolen ID and digitally manipulated photos.
I managed to get in contact with the fellow whos ID had been stolen, and it proves many more have been scammed like me. I'd like to point out that this is NOT through Audiogon, but another big sight.
Utterly painful when it's borrowed money. This makes me totally rethink any future purchase on the used marked.
I wonder how many of you fellow audio-friends have had this happen to you?
