buyer beware of late

Several days ago, I made an offer to buy from someone with no feedback. I told them I would only do the deal via UPS COD. Fortunately, I know our UPS guy and he will let me look at the item and even quickly power it up before handing over the funds. I never heard back from the seller. Either the item is sold (although it is not marked sold), they didn't like my COD terms, or they didn't like my offer, which was a little below the asking price. Either way, no problem. I will wait for a better opportunity. I think part of having good luck with these transactions is sticking to your terms, and knowing when to walk.

I got burned good on purchase of a turntable from someone a lot of you may know named Albert whose business advertises on A'Gon. I paid above the market going rate for the table and was aware of this. But this was based upon Albert putting in writing that unit was 6 to 7 years old. Coincidentally someone removed the serial # before shipping to me. But I had faith in what I was told and what Albert put in writing.

Less than a year later the unit required service and the manufacturer informed me that it's 20 years old. I email Albert several times and he does not even give the courtesy of ANY response.

Shameless.

A'Gon won't print my negative feedback, won't even acknowledge it. Likely won't print this.

I'm an honest seller and purchaser and should not be treated this way. My eyes are open much wider now but I still enjoy and believe in what A'Gon is trying to do.

If you send an Electra Glide cord to William Scott Hall for repair or retermination, be prepared to never see the cord, or its dollar value again. Or, be prepared to put up a determined, hard nosed fight to regain your property. Many have been down this road with Mr. Hall. I have personally communicated with half a dozen Electra Glide owners (and one dealer) who have contacted me unsolicited with their unfavorable experiences.

You've all been warned.
