upscale audio is this legal?


Maybe I'm wrong but wanted to get the communities thoughts. A good friend of mine bought a Cary amp from upscale audio it was supposed to be a v12 i. That was a year and a half ago recently he was going to sell it and was looking at the receipt from them and the serial numbers dont match at all!! totally different amp not even a i series. well he called them and they told him there was nothing they would do. I have never checked the serial number on anything I have bought but will from now on.My friend assumed he was getting what he paid for but did not! You would think they knew somewhere along the line they sold him the wrong amp . anyway whats your thoughts.

["C: The unit he bought and paid for had damage, having a dented transformer cover. It was discounted and priced as a damaged unit. It evens said that on our used listing which is copied directly onto his invoice. He fails to tell you this. What he received is mint. He conveniently leaves this out."]

"The unit he bought and paid for had damage," The serial number for this unit is?

"What he received is mint." Are you saying the unit was repaired or it's a different unit? If so, what's the serial number for that unit? Don't know? Then contact your manufacture and find out who purchased those serial numbers. Jeez, you're the dealer!

["B: The unit serial number he has I have no record of owning, buying, shipping, whatever. Having said that, maybe we screwed the pooch and made a mistake.']

Frankly, the dealer should have slept on this response. It comes of as very unprofessional if not childish considering, "maybe," admitting fault.

The original poster or his friend is still your customer and you had an opportunity to be the hero instead of a pathetic victim. Now more than twenty people have responded and who knows how many more will read this thread. Was that really worth it?
Wilsynet, the Dealer doesn't make any mention of, "willing to look at it that way," if at all. If that's implied then it went right over, as you grasiously put it, my nut. It still isn't clear if the damaged unit the customer purchased or the mint unit was the one sent to the customer.

As a public statement the Dealers response still reads unprofessional to me. With that and a few other negative anecdotes elsewhere on the net this previous costumer will take any future business elsewhere.

Be that as it may, after a further response by the Dealer it appears the two have a history of disagreement that may preclude any need for outside response including mine.
