Traded a brand new sealed Rio 600 for a Panasonic Dvd 5 changer player

Cross-traded on May 4, 2002 AnandTech

He sent an email saying he had the Rio and was enjoying it.A few days later the Dvd player showed up.It wouldnt play any of many dvd's.Gives a can't read disc error.This item was packed well with no box damage at all and based on his other deals of late (which were unknown to me and unposted til after my trade)it appears hes knowingly selling bad goods.No response to any of my emails,Im told hes moved and the phone is disconnected.Ex good trader turns out to be just a low life thief trying to get away with all he can before running off.

Complete rig, SFF

Michael,like a lot of trolls makes many promises.We have the first ship date which he says he used a "friend" at Fed Ex and therefore got cheap shipping with no tracking.Then of course it didnt show.A week or so later a promise again of shipping a substitute,and once again refusal (emails ignored) to provide any tracking.If I were you,I would never deal with this trader even on a ship first basis,the communication is the worst Ive ever seen from any trader.In an effort to help this trader in a tough financial spot I got burned,my fault as based on his heat alone I shouldnt have done the deal.Dont repeat my mistake.Worse was this was supposed to go to my friend in need of a rig.I will update should he ever make good and deliver (anything!)

Infinity 6.5" car audio speakers

Neutral is the ablsoute best that I could give James for this trade.He ask me for extra time to ship the speakers as he said his wife was having their child.I agreed,no problem.However weeks later when I still had no speakers I began to ask what was going on.I had to threaten to report his inaction to the mods since I saved every one of our messages in PM, and also start a thread on him before he agreed he would ship right away.He told me that the speakers were shipped shortly after that conversation.Approx one week later there was no sight of them.He then told me they had been returned by USPS due to his address mistake with the package.I ask for proof of this and none was provided.I had him ship with DC this time which was my mistake for not asking for it the first time (being too trusting before this).I didnt believe at this point the story about the address problem but had no proof.Read this thread and you'll see others mention shipping and more serious issues http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=45&threadid=929265&highlight_key=y
This thread was all I needed for proof that the shipping issues were no accident and I needed to let other traders know details of this deal.The speakers finally arrived to reveal the next problem.The grilles were not in the box.I had counted on using them and he did not disclose any included parts would be missing.I told him I wasnt happy at all about this and he claimed that he looked but couldnt find the grilles.I agreed to keep them since I will use them in a future installation where a grille is an option (its not in my present car).I also saved a message from James telling me how busy he was (his reason that he couldnt reply to my questions of has it been shipped)and during that same time he had been online buying dvds on AT.Like I said,I think a neutral is generous.
