ordering from Michael Percy Audio


I am a little unsure what to do here. Percy Audio stocks a product I would like to buy. I did e-mail him a question about it, but he has not responded in a couple of days. I am actually fine with ordering the product without the response to my question, but does one just go ahead and send in the Paypal amount and then he ships it? I know that it is a well regarded source of hard to find audio components, I guess I'm a little unsure about Paypaling some money to a site when it's not clear if there is "anybody home."

Thanks for any insights

Sometimes it takes a lil' while for him to respond, then he sends and invoice via email. A week wouldn't be unusual from my experience. First rate though.
Don't do it. Doesn't sound first rate to me. A week to get an email returned is ridiculous. If it takes a week just to get an email how long do you think it might take to get it shipped?
I've been ordering parts from Michael for over 15 years, and have yet to be disappointed. He's a one man operation, and doesn't notify anyone when/if he leaves his desk for any length of time(ie: vacation/illness). I generally call (530-470-8650) if I don't get a fast enough reply via e-mail. Much of what he offers is not readily available elsewhere, and is worth being a bit patient for. Wait for him to invoice you before making a Paypal payment. He'll ship immediately after proper communication is established. Many in here seem obssessed with making comments about things(or people) with which(or whom) they've had no experience.
