Damn had an experience with this guy to! He tried to dick me around about some speakers I had up for sale. Offered me a price I accepted, then blew me off. Then came back a few weeks later to see if they were still available and wanted to offer me a lower price.
Someone want to verify this?
I recently sold my Lyra Delos cartridge to a guy at US Audio Mart, and I see it may be the one listed now at Audio Asylum Trader as one he purchased from a dealer in California and that it has less than 50 hours on it. I told him it had close to 120 hours on it. He didn’t even take his own pictures, he used mine. If someone wants to ask what the serial number is, and it happens to be DL4549, then that’s the one I sold him. Then he is a crook.

I purchased a Modwright Instruments 36.5 from him last September, fortunately it sounds great but he wanted extra cash for a NOS Mullard 5AR4 and a couple matched 6H30 tubes that he had for it with hardly any hours on them that he said transformed the sound over stock but i told him that i'll stick with what i already offered him for it but with the tubes included, i'm glad i did because the Mullard lit up like a 100 watt light bulb and blew the fuse on the preamp and the 6H30's were also garbage. |
Ah! Two years later, this thread is coming to life again.Guess what? science_guy from Seattle also has an account here on Audiogon. He accepted my offer of $3000+fee+shipping for a McIntosh MC275 Mk V with no box or manuals (https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9ffd9-mcintosh-mc275-mkvi-tube). A few hours later, he sent me a text with picture saying the cage was bent. I asked him to cover the $149 replacement cost, while I pay for the shipping. He refused and insisted on refunding. I disagreed, and immediately offered to cover half of the replacement cost + shipping. Shortly after, he sent me another message claiming one of the transformers had a dent, although they appeared fine on the pictures. I haven't heard from him since. I checked my PayPal account today and saw a pending refund, although I never consented to cancelling the transaction. Upon logging onto Audiogon, I could no longer find the transaction on my dashboard page. It's like nothing has ever happened. I never knew that you could just delete a transaction like that. |
