That Other Audiophile Website

Tominnj
You are without doubt psychologically unattuned to conducting business transactions with anybody let alone sellers of used equipment.
Used equipment is what it says on the box.
Used.  Period.

You don't seem to function like normal human beings.

Go back into your hole and stop bothering us with your nonsense.

1+ @mmorrison55. 

@tominnj - People who smoke are unaware of the odor. Unless the seller stated it was used in a smoke free environment I see no ill intent on his part. I would suggest rather than continuing what you are doing, invest in an ozone generator. 

I use one to get rid of the kitty litter smell. Trust me, it will get rid of cigarette smell no problem. 

I wonder if the OP were to buy cigarettes would they smell like CD Players…?

I apologize for smoking while I posted this.

I review all post and think people being hard on origin poster. By now he know he should ask that question. Only one time I  try buy use I allergic to feline so need ask if it have cat dander on unit. Guy came back and say no but his wife has nice beaver. That seem kind of weird because he in Arizona so I tell the guy I need more picture. I realize he not talking about audiophile anymore. You have to be careful with online. Give this guy break he going to do better next time everybody make mistake. Other option we use the zoom call with seller and get this settle. We get him come clean with addiction too.
