'Middle ground- buy used cart from dealer who has excellent feedback.'

That was one criteria I had when I bought a Dyna 17D3 recently..It`s not panning out well at all.

'....I would not buy any cartridge, new or used, without being able to return it if defective.'
*********************************************************
In my case the seller (DEALER) claims that the cartridge was PERFECT when it was sent out so therefore I must have damaged it and he considers the sale FINAL.

An honest seller, would reimburse you, if not satisfied.
***********************************************************
Hmmm define HONEST ! I`ve sent an email out to him to see if he`ll work with me on making it right, even offering to apply the purchase toward another used cartridge...No response as of yet.
I have bought used cartridges in the past too as have others here and up until this deal have been very satisfied.
This purchase btw was from a respected high profile member/DEALER of this site and others like it.
Never ever expected this..caught me by surprise I`ll say that much.
This is my contribution to a thread that like I said couldn`t have come at a better time.
And...I wish Audiogon would allow pics..unless I`m overlooking something here.
But if interested, have a peek at the pics over on AA..might just save you some grief in the future !
