TL Electronics

Hi @rsf507 

Yes, I have reported because he is using that feedback to say he is reliable.

Audiogon says:

"We are going to contact him to see what is going on but since this sale took place off Audiogon, that is all we can do."

I have provided chats, photos, website info, and police claim but it seems to be not enough,

It's weird... to respect privacy and if this thing doesn't touch personal interest it seems better to stay out.

I personally think differently because Audiogon, which is one of my favourite forums is much more than a forum now: it's a place where people think to buy with peace of mind and where buyers and sellers can receive feedback on their good behavior.

@black73 have you reported this info to Audiogon? Why is he still active?

Thanks @Tony1954.

I don't see any possibility to get money back.

As a producer of Stands for high-end equipment, I have noticed by the way, that one specific aspect comes out of buying just from resellers with a long history and verifiable reviews. This market become more and more too much exclusive and prices are going more and more crazy. This circle is self-referential and no one is allowed to access it. I hope that sometimes some new and young shops can open and with the right willingness to enter this world can create a little bit of sane competition.

Even though the high-end passion seems to have days numbered because new generations have no money for this expensive passion, neither they are interested in it.

This doesn't mean that you have to buy everywhere and be cautious.

After everything happened it's easy even for me to recognize I made a mistake but when you are dealing with a seller, not everything is clear and your doubts mixed with the desire to have found a super deal can lead you to that.

I hope that this post can be useful for someone else and that this stupid guy will not claim other victims. At least my money will make sense. 

But this is just my sight and I didn't want to hurt anyone.

I don't know what happened to your dealings with TL Electronics, but this is exactly why I don't deal with any company that doesn't have a retail history and verifiable reviews. TL has complete lack of actual information on their website. Even their address is incomplete.

That being said, I hope you can somehow rectify the situation.
