Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s

Sold my XV-1s to a Audiogon member with no feedback. He emailed me that he had only one channel working. It worked perfectly when I removed it and put it back in the original packing to send. I told him to reverse the cables from his T.T. to phono pre and see if the other channel worked. If the same channel still worked he had a problem with his T.T. Any other ideas...

Collecting on a claim could be difficult unless the package shows clear evidence of damage, or the shipper lost the package.
I hope you figure out the serial number issue. Not saying they all do but I know all the cartridges I have/ had all have the serial numbers somewhere on the body.
Did he pay by Paypal or other? Paypal sucks for the seller.

"The question I have now...does it de-value the cart. by not having Dynavector do the repair?
Will the Soundsmith repair cost me more than just the repair?"

To me, as a buyer, I would answer by asking how old is it and how many hours on it? If it is fairly new with low hours, and you were asking a premium for it, I would say yes that it might have lost substantial value. But if it had upwards of say 500- 800 hours and the price was right before this incident, then maybe not.
