Bad eBay seller - tunerx-factory

Claims to be a Canadian seller.  Shipments come from East Asia and take forever.  Tried to return an item that didn't fit my motorcycle.  Turns out the return shipping address in British Columbia is bogus.

Loran D is a local CL responder that is bad at no-showing.  Not sure that makes him criminal though.

Got another email today from Loran D.  His budget is ever shrinking in size per the emails:  $550 -> $400 -> $250.   Gives me a wary feeling.

Go with your gut.   A CL flip isn't worth the aggravation that having the wrong person over to your house can bring.   

Plus, you've had me over, so we already know that your judgment is suspect! :laugh:

Pro tip: When buying or selling speakers on CL, it is sometimes helpful to have either a battery powered T-Amp or a DC->AC inverter and a low powered (and ideally small sized) receiver. You can use your phone or iPod as a source, hook up the speakers, and verify that they are operational.

I use a 400 Watt Coleman inverter and a small Hitachi mini "receiver" from the 80's. I started doing so after getting burned on one of those Knight KN612 HC coaxial speakers.

This also prevents emails from CL buyers claiming that they got home, hooked up the speakers you just sold, and they didn't work.

A t-amp and ipod is my exact set up when buying speakers and sometimes when selling them if that is all I want the potential buyer to see.

Great minds think alike.

In this case, it's just a coincidence.   ;D

Carlos has a feedback of 0 with 0 items purchased and 0 items sold.

Avoid "funformoney32" on ebay.  Didn't ship a Tandberg unit I bought and paid for on 11/30/13.  I suspect it was sold out from under me.  I have reported the incident to ebay and rated the seller appropriately.
Mac stuff, Sony HDR-F1HD AM/FM/HD tuner, Denon DRS 810 cassette, Denon CDR-W1500 CD recorder, Music Hall MMF-9 w/B&O MMC2, B & O 4002 w/B & O 20 CL, Revox A-77

Marvelio on Amazon.

The guys sells vinyl and advertises he's in PA.  I placed an order for two records on March 31st and and received an email that they shipped on April 2nd.  I still have not seen these records.  His return address is a PO Box in Greensburg, PA.  That's 46 miles from my house.

speakers.everywhere on ebay

Received an amp that was actually packed ok.  It was advertised as normal wear but in perfect working order.  Amp was beat to living shit, not one part of the chassis or plates are straight, has about a dozen random screws, one jack was bad and the meters don't work.  But since it's a Carver it still works and sounds good.   :laugh:
