@skyscraper, try The Music Room’s services. They will buy, trade, or consign. Just go to their website and check it out. Sometimes it’s not worth the hassles to sell online... so much BS to deal with. Fortunately, I’ve had great luck on both Agon and USAM. I’ve used EBay a ton over the years too and only a couple of times had issues. I’ve had more issues shipping, than I have scams or otherwise. If you pay attention, the scammers usually convey themselves. As mentioned above, sometimes we miss or ignore the “signs”. Going with the gut is sometimes the best policy. If it feels “off” it probably is.
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
I was a victim of the most unpleasant experience just recently.I thought i was buying a preamp, but it proves i have been sending money to a scammer. It turns out the seller had been using a stolen ID and digitally manipulated photos.
I managed to get in contact with the fellow whos ID had been stolen, and it proves many more have been scammed like me. I'd like to point out that this is NOT through Audiogon, but another big sight.
Utterly painful when it's borrowed money. This makes me totally rethink any future purchase on the used marked.
I wonder how many of you fellow audio-friends have had this happen to you?
