Dealer behavior issue
I would like opinions as to whether members feel that I’m being unreasonable to think
that a very popular dealer has not performed so well on my behalf, the customer. Last summer I ordered an expensive ARC amp understanding that delivery would most likely be in Oct which was fine with me. I did make a commitment which I understand.
My situation seriously changed due to my wife’s health but I agree that’s not his problem.
At this point I requested to pay a handsome restocking fee, 2-3k, can’t remember the amount but he was cavalier saying why would I want to do this?
So that was that.
The unit is about to be delivered and as I’ll immediately resell the unopened box I gave him a last offer.
The transaction had a current unit model trade in that retailed for 8k and is a favorite product of his and he carries it.
Yesterday I offered to give him this unit as the restock fee with 90 days to fully refund me.
I have received no response so he didn’t like my offer which is his right. I have spent over 40k retail over the last two years with him with no problems.
So in the end I changed my mind which is the lowest form of audio behavior. Was I foolish to think this guy would accommodate me? The product I offered to GIVE him will fly out his door for $4k .
This is just business as usual ?

Why would you be charged anything if the item was never shipped ...And the fact that the OP hasn't identified the dealer casts further doubt as to what is actually happening here. |
@4425 - My personal take is; with only one side of the story, it’s impossible to make a rational judgement, which is what you’ve asked. Hopefully; everything’s now OK, regarding your wife. That her illness affected your finances, is unfortunate. The dealer may also be considering their own financials, in decision making. Perhaps, they’re unable to cancel the transaction with ARC/McIntosh Group and can’t afford to keep that amp in inventory, etc. I don’t know either of you personally, so- if one of you were a, "creep"; I’d have no way of knowing, or- considering it in making a call. Your feedback is of no consequence, in this instance. I have 50 completed transactions here(the vast majority, as a seller), with 100% positive feedback. That doesn’t mean I can’t screw up something, or make a bad choice tomorrow, without actually being a, "creep." If I missed something relevant, elsewhere in this thread: sorry, for my oversight. |
