What Do You Think Of This?
I sold a Magnum Dynalab MD100 tuner here on Saturday. I used it daily for almost 3 years and right up to the day I shipped it to its new owner. There was never a problem with it, it always worked perfectly. The gentleman received the tuner yesterday and complained to me that the tuner is broken. He said that when the tuner is off, the meters still work. I pointed out to him that it is the way the tuner is designed. I have had 3 different Magnum Dynalab tuners and all 3 have been that way. He also said the signal strength meter moves wildly and that he is getting a loud hiss. I explained to him that it sounds like poor reception.
He wants his money back and I told him I would cheerfully refund him the money via PayPal once I receive the tuner back. I stated I would refund him the 400.00 that he paid. He then complained he wanted his return shipping back because I sent him a "broken" tuner and that I stated in my ad that it worked flawlessly (which it did). I sent him another email which he has yet to respond to that I will cover his return shipping, and that as soon as I get the tuner back I will refund him the 400.00 plus the return shipping.
I am quite annoyed because He lowballed me down to 400 as I was asking 475.00 and this tuner went for 1970.00 new. I also ate the PayPal fees plus had to purchase a shipping carton as well. I am positive the tuner is fine and that he just has poor reception. People here need to realize that we who are selling are not a store, this isn't try and return if you don't like or if the problem is bad reception.
At any rate, I am just going to refund him everything as I have flawless feedback and that means more to me than the money. Whats your take on this?

tomryan I'm not being sarcastic, I swear. But why would someone want a tuner these days?To listen to FM. The audio quality of a really good FM signal is better than that of most radio station streams. Of course, the sq of most FM stations today is not very good. |
Because my local PBS FM station has a library of over 70,000 Classical recordings and all the announcers are themselves classical musicians and I like to LEARN things and have no room for 70K recordings in my condo. Also, they use top Teac Tascam CD players . Also the City of Minneapolis owns our Jazz 88 FM station and though they only have about 10,000 jazz recordings that’s more than I have room for and they also play live jazz as well . I have 3 very good tuners at present but if I listened to rock I’d give them away . Both have good signals . |
