Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s

Sold my XV-1s to a Audiogon member with no feedback. He emailed me that he had only one channel working. It worked perfectly when I removed it and put it back in the original packing to send. I told him to reverse the cables from his T.T. to phono pre and see if the other channel worked. If the same channel still worked he had a problem with his T.T. Any other ideas...

>>My worry is he will subsitute a none working XV-1s for my nm cart.<<

Check the serial number is correct before issuing a refund.

I didn't think of that switcharoo scam, I'll have to write down the serial number of my cartridge BEFORE I ship it. What about filing a shipping damage claim? It's possible that the shipper drop kicked the XV-1s.

I will test and inspect it when it arrives. Is there a serial # stamped on the body? I did look at the cartridge very closely with magnification before shipping and do not recall seeing a serial# The certificate was with the cart. with the serial# on it.
I guess I can't rule out shipping damage...the buyer did not mention damage to the packing.

If you have any doubts, the importer could verify. He's a great guy.

BTW, dropping the cartridge could damage the internals without showing anything on the body. Not saying this is the case but it worked before you shipped.

Collecting on a claim could be difficult unless the package shows clear evidence of damage, or the shipper lost the package.
I hope you figure out the serial number issue. Not saying they all do but I know all the cartridges I have/ had all have the serial numbers somewhere on the body.
Did he pay by Paypal or other? Paypal sucks for the seller.
