That Other Audiophile Website

Seems very odd OP. @tominnj made this accusation more than once. This is his feedback from a seller in 2019:
FeedbackFromNegative

Made a low offer on listing which was accepted. Unit listed as near mint for cosmetic and working condition. Buyer complained of cigarette smell after receiving the unit and wanted to return even though unit works and looks like new as listed. I was unaware of the odor or would have noted in the listing. However listed stated no returns and buyer forced the issue through PayPal. Buyers negative feedback indicates smoke damage which is an outright lie as there is no damage whatsoever. Unit could have been easily cleaned to remove odor which buyer was unwilling to do. Unreasonable to expect a used 12+ year old piece of equipment to not need cleaning of some sort.

Sorry about the "classless" insult. Keep it classy. Keep it classy.
Something rotten in the state of audiomart.
All's well that end's well.

The guy made the same accusation here in 2019.

I purchased a pair of Focal speakers from a seller on the other site. The speakers arrived fine but reeked of some funky floral/soap smell. I wiped down the speakers with multiple passes of distilled water followed by a quick drying. I eventually got rid of the smell. I still have the speakers after two years and continue to enjoy them.
I also purchased a pair of Aerial Acoustics on eBay from a seller in Colorado several years ago. They stunk of a strong mildew odor. Not receiving any satisfaction from eBay or the seller, I took the speakers completely apart and wiped everything down inside and out with denatured alcohol. I then left the cabinets completely disassembled for about ten days to air out in my garage. I eventually put them back together and enjoyed the speakers for about five years. I still have them. I might use them in my bedroom with a DAC and streamer.
