I’ve been dealing with Elusive Disc, for a couple decades, without disappointment. A VPI SDS and RCM 16.5, some PS Audio stuff and lots of music. They pack the hell out of the vinyls, in boxes made for LPs, and everything’s always, simply right! http://www.elusivedisc.com/
Online LP Dealer Deceit - Any Experience(s) and Advice?
One of the joys of collecting LP's is the great variety available online, but yes, but there can be the downside. I'm basically thinking of when your LP arrives and then you learn the LP is an outright deception.
Basically, I then contact the Seller and he (never a she yet) either does not answer and/or replies but is evasive and/or rude...and so ultimately I'm forced to appeal, for example, to eBay, Discogs and/or PayPal to enforce a refund(s).
My most recent example is from Discogs with "Audio_Basics." Very briefly, it went from his denial that the LP box set could be damaged to evasiveness and outright rudenesss. And still no refund after 15 photos of the damage. His negative feedback was removed by Discogs and PayPal decided to force a purchase refund.
Please have you had such a bad online LP buying experience with whomever and have advice to protect oneself? Knowing who to avoid would be the most helpful of course. Thank you in advance.
