@northman, no good news. No news at all in fact. My wife is the one that has been having to deal with this and it is her relative that gets the money for these components I've been selling for the estate.
Well, I was getting upset with her for not pushing UPS. It has been nearly a month from now.
She was getting fed up with me. She told me to let her handle it so I've washed my hands of it. As far as I know still no money.
It makes me mad. What UPS has done is wrong. How they have responded to it is shameful. But it is out of my hands now and I'm just trying not to think about it. And I'm less stressed out when I don't.
I will also say that getting rid of this hi-fi gear has been a miserable experience. We've sold most of it. We got less than half the new value on everything but the Aerial Acoustic 5T speakers where we got right at half their new value. For most everything else we got less than a third of the new value. All of this gear was like new, most of it current models. On top of that eBay/PayPal holds onto the payments for like a week because we have not had many sales. So between UPS and eBay I've sold about $7500 worth of gear and have gotten only about $2000 so far and all of that was on Craig's List or Audiogon sales. We've had to fend of scammers and lowballers. We had to come home from out of town to meet a buyer so he could pick up the speakers (really nice guy).
The only experiences that were halfway decent were through Craig's List oddly enough.
Anyway, we're almost done and I hope I never have to do it again. No fun.
For our efforts I kept a pair of Aerial Acoustic 6Ts. They are wonderful but I really don't need them.
Sorry to unload my first world problems. Just needed to vent.
