what would you do?

What would you do if you bought a amp from supposedly reputable dealer and found out a year and a half later it wasnt the amp you bought at all but one of a totally different serial number and ? Wouldnt you think the dealer would know sometimes in that time period they sold the wrong amp to you? I the consumer am only buying one item if he has several amps similar he logs them by serial number therefore he knew he sold the wrong amp but said nothing, how is that even legal? it's a sad day when you cant trust the dealers on audiogon.

I buy and sell quite often on ebay and you should always use a credit card tied to paypal. You could have gotten a full refund. In fact, ebay sides up way too much with the buyer. A few years ago I paid for a full set of Walking Liberty half dollars and received 2 full sets 1200 per set by accident. I called the dealer and asked them to pay the shipping cost for the return of the 2nd set. A few days after I returned the 2nd set, the dealer sent me a thank you letter and a check for 500.00

Spring for a new V12I or V12R faceplate, just don't sell it to me.

Polk432 is right on the money. Some interesting links:

Cary SA280 V-12 manual: http://www.caryaudio.com/pdfs/manuals_archive/Cad280SA_V12.pdf

Cary SA280 V-12i manual:http://www.caryaudio.com/pdfs/manuals_archive/Cad280SA_V12i.pdf

Note that the V-12i manual is labeled as such.

But wait, there's more! Check out the pic in this ad for a Cary SAs80 V-12: http://new.audiogon.com/listings/5592


Now see the pic in this ad of a Cary SA280 V-12i: http://new.audiogon.com/listings/32288

Serial numbers aside, how could this guy not know what amp he had when its model designation was written right on the front of it - and also on the cover of the owner's manual?

Show the dealer to the hall of shame, which leads to audio hell.
