bad experiences buying on line

Ahh, hush money, the plot thickens. Option 1, take your expenses, postage, money order, etc. out of the $100.00, return the balance, leave feedback saying that he accepted payment and then sold the gear to someone else and held your money, then be prepared to fight the good fight if he leaves you negative feedback. Option 2, as Woody Allen said, "Take The Money And Run", perhaps the seller has learned the ethical error of his ways and needs a clean start. Option 3, same as option 2 except you send him the balance of the $100.00 back as in option 1. Option 1 would help to protect other members but you may find yourself in a protracted dispute. I would only keep the money only if I could do so with a clear consience. Zaikesman is ultimately correct, no sense in agonizing until the refund check clears your bank.

I got the money back today but I am still torn about what to do now. The guy deserves bad feedback but the whole story (if he told me the truth) is still complicated. The truth of the matter is I don't remember his "member name." Anybody got a Krell or Pass Labs phono section for sale???

You can get his username simply by entering his email address at the Member Lookup feature on this site. Don't sweat it about the phono section, something always comes along pretty soon around here. :-)

I got an e-mail from the guy a couple of days ago. He has been told to repost the Krell KPE reference. He asked me if I was interested. I did not respond but so far it hasn't been posted yet. I'm still considering feedback since money did change hands.

He should never have listed it if it wasn't for sale! Secondly, unless he's the owner, I question his legal right to sell to you to begin with.

You can't list on ebay and audiogon, and take the highest bidder, hey it don't work like that. I wouldn't buy the time of day from this guy. At least he was honest enough to return your money with interest, but feedback is certainly reasonable indicating that you weren't told the truth, and your money was out of pocket a LONG time before you are right back in the same position as before. 1K, ok, 1.1K and no phono.
