Review for user manfood from valkyrie

  • Sold a Kenwood 72x for paypal. Buyer asked for overnight shipping. I agreed, for additional price.

    This is unfortunately, one of the few negative comments I ever had to make about someone. We agreed on a price, but he [Michael Kim, Davis CA] asked for overnight shipping. I asked for $10 extra to cover shipping, which as it turns out, was not enough (the shipping was over $21!). I shipped anyway, hoping he would do the right thing and send a little extra to cover my expenses. He agreed to send me a few extra bucks, but then he just dropped off the planet without any more communication (I waited more than 2 weeks before posting this message, BTW, giving him every opportunity in the world to respond and do the right thing). I tried to PM and email w/o a response. Everything else about the trade went great, but when someone fails on a promise, I don't take it as a good sign. I'm going to give it a "neutral" sale, but I personally won't probably do business with him again in the future. I did get most of the money, so I'm not at a complete loss. I just hate to do someone a favor only to have it turn out this way.
