Buyers Beware Avoid Shawser61 Possibly Fraud

Shouldn't this have been posted in the Disputes forum?

Yes, I should but who reads dispute forum? Last thread posted on Dispute forum was posted on the 2011.

I read dispute rules and Audogon can't do heck to make sellers participate in the dispute.

I wanted to warn other buyers who wanted to deal with this seller so I posted it on the more visible forum.

I will probably post a dispute as well as leave appropriate feedback for this seller. It seems fittings to do so.

I don't think the disputes section is in use anymore or the moderators are letting stuff go. Grievances get aired out in the general forum now. I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked down yet.

With regards to the e-mail system if you put any kind of e-mail information in there or a phone # the e-mail will be suppressed. I was trying to help a member out by getting him a copy of a manual I had and I found from observing the conversation the messages were blocked where I put my e-mail or phone #. That could be part cause of the e-mails not getting through.

I don't know if this works with the pay now options when buying from an ad but when you are corresponding with a member you can check the Email Delivery in the Inbox on Audiogon. You can see if a message has been read or delivered etc etc. After signing in on the Main Page, go into the Inbox and then in the lower left corner you will see Email Delivery.

Showser61 joined 11/15/12 and has one transaction with no-noise, who joined 11/14/12. Both left positive feedback to each other 12/12/12 at 1202. Coincidence? looks like a setup to me. TG

Nothing wrong with posting disputes if you feel the seller isn't taking care of business. Nobody wants to come to the forums with issues unless there is a good reason to do so. I just went through this for the first time but the thread was closed. The seller even offered a full refund in the thread but didn't have the money once confronted off the thread. A lot of con men out there!

Thanks for the heads up!
