I was scammed by a dealer about a year ago. I purchased a Kiseki Blue NS cartridge from him and felt confident in his feedback. The Cartridge was listed in North Dakota, the member was in Cyprus, yes, Cyprus as in the Mediterranean Sea. He had me call him and assured me that the cartridge would ship immediately after I paid, so I paid with my Visa card. His add stated he only had ONE at that price, a day later he still had the add posted and received a higher price than mine, keep in mind, I already paid. I called him and left several messages, no response. Then I contacted my credit card company to stop payment suspecting a scam. He was rude, and full of excuses and when I was credited from him he shorted me $6 because of the exchange rate. He was NEVER located in North Dakota, and Audiogon sided with him when I left him negative feedback. So I get screwed for $6 and I'm unable to at least warn other members to stay away from him. Im starting to just keep my old equipment and will build a second system.
too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers
For years I've bought and sold here with no drama but that seems to have been changing. Now sellers seem to want retail pricing for their products while wanting to low ball on anything they want to buy.
At the same time I see more and more fussy buyers nitpicking the purchase, requiring tons of hand holding and concessions after they buy a fairly represented good working order item.
No longer fun for me unfortunately.
