Sold Sold Sold

Again, there was no deal ever made and I sold it to the next buyer for $1395. I even spent the time and looked for another listing for him which priced lower at $1100. But he responded rudely and seems confused, mentioning something $400 was a bit much... See below again

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry but the unit was sold last week. There's another one listed on USaudiomart for $1100.

I think you have the message crossed with someone else. Have a great day!

Zappas - March 14

No, your the 1 who sold the auralic and didn't even let me know. Not sure what your smoking.

Hello All! 

This is iLove audio. Please read below I have copy and pasted the whole conversation between me and member Zappas - there was never any deals or agreement. Member Zappas simply said "I'm on vacation for awhile, I'll see what's happening when I get back." If anyone is curious, I can provide screenshots of this convo. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the message. I had to reference online search. Here's what I found:

AURALiC Aries devices can play Amazon Music on Android devices using the Lightning DS app or other Open Home compatible software. 

AURALiC Aries devices use the Lightning Streaming Platform to connect to music services like Amazon Music. 
The Lightning DS app is a control app that allows users to play and control Amazon Music Unlimited. 
Open Home compatible software, such as BubbleUPnP, Kazoo, and Lumin, can also be used to control AURALiC devices. 
AURALiC devices can be set up and configured using any web browser on a PC or Mac. 
AURALiC devices are Roon-Ready network players, which means they can play seamlessly as endpoints in a Roon system.

Thanks for the in depth answer. I'm on vacation for awhile, I'll see what's happening when I get back.

What are you talking about? You inquired about the G1 a week ago and it's now sold. I kindly directed you to a different listing that I found. 

The G1 was sold for $1395 and you said something about $400 is a bit much? What?

Hi Everyone,

Thanks everyone for the inputs. I have impeccable feedback and sales record. Please see the whole conversation above between me and Zappas (copy and pasted), I left no lines out. I also made screen shots. Members Zappas Rant is clearly based on lies.

1. He never said "I would buy when I get back" Instead, he said, "I’m on vacation for awhile, I’ll see what’s happening when I get back."

He never even made an offer

2. He never "emailed 3 times"

3. and when he did message after 8 days - on 3/13, it was an abrupt "Let’s do this deal" I responded the very next day.

Be very Careful of this buyer! I will certainly block him for wasting everyone’s time.

Thanks guys! :) 

Thanks everyone! 

I actually don't do this for a living. I'm an audio enthusiast, a former music major and indie studio engineer who loves music and audio. I bought and sold tons of new and used gears in the past years. I'd been helping people sell and trade their stuff and I met a lot of good people in the process.

True story, recently, I agreed to sell an Enleum HPA-23RM Headphone amp to someone for $2000 and then received another cash offer for $2300 the very next day. I honored the original $2000 without flinching. Now, that's a gentlemen's agreement. How many people on agon would do that right now? And if there were even a semblance of an agreement to buy the item as Zappas so had claimed, I would have honored it. And by saying "I'll see what's happening when I get back" is borderline a brush-off. It's like saying "If it doesn't sell by the time I get back, I'll low-ball you then". 

And as soon as OP Zappas turns definitively rude, not only he's no longer a gentleman, he becomes instantly ineligible to buy anything from me in the future. This is good riddance. I will not deal with this level of immaturity, entitlement and disrespectfulness. 

 

Oh, snap!

Mic drop.

Betcha weren’t expecting that when you started this BS thread. 

😄😆

This was a PRIVATE SALE, peer-to-peer between 2 hobbyists, where in most cases the basis cost is equal to or higher than their sale price (net loss). As a buyer, I approach sellers with the utmost respect for their time.

100%! The saying “Customer’s always right” applies to some retail models, and even so, the concept would adjusts to specific supply and demand.
