WARNING DISHONEST EBAY seller
Do not do business with this EBAY seller
http://stores.ebay.com/BoxQ-Electronics they sold me a Audio technica 815 mic that did not work then offered to let me return it if I payed them a 20% "restocking " fee that's quite a racket selling broken gear then offering to take it back for just20% of the selling price I wonder how many times this mic was sold and returned before it came my way, with them makeing 20% of the bid price with each cycle of a BROKEN MIC these sellers are not honest and if you buy from them you will get ripped off again Do Not Buy from http://stores.ebay.com/BoxQ-Electronics |

WARNING DISHONEST EBAY seller
George, I feel your pain, and understand your anger. I think you're
right that people shouldn't do business with this seller. Having said that... it should have been obvious from the description of this item ("You are bidding on an Audio Technica AT815a Shotgun Microphone with cable. It is in good overall condition and measures 18" long. Specs are available from www.audio-technica.com") that this seller isn't particularly interested in checking their items for defects. You should consider yourself lucky that the seller is willing to take it back at all - even with a restocking fee. There are many eBay sellers who would just laugh in your face: "Sorry, pal... it said 'as is' in the listing." You don't have to take this lying down, though. The description DID say that the mic was in "good overall condition." It's reasonable to construe this to mean that the mic was in working condition. If you paid with PayPal, I'd file a SNAD (that's "Significantly Not As Described") complaint with PayPal. If you win the dispute (likely) you'll have to ship it back to the seller at your expense, but you'll get your money back. If you didn't... then I'd send it back and pay the man his money. Better to pay 20% plus shipping for an experience from which you can learn than 100% for a non-working mic. And next time... buy from a seller who sells audio stuff (instead of whatever surplus junk he happens to get) and has the means, knowledge (and willingness) to say that it's working. Good luck. |

Good luck. actually it's a tiny amount of money , I will have more satisfaction out of trashing his name than I would get satisfaction ouit of 120$ he stated IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION I would think that meant Good overall condition, overall seems to me to encompass the WORKING aspect of itss condition besides if he gets it back he will just reauction it to another poor sap , cycle this mic a few times keeping 20% of the bid price each time and pretty soon you've made some money here are a few others taht were burned by this same scam Received iMac that couldn't power on; Seller wouldn't accept return; Stay away! One computer was DOA, lied about shipping, no COA, no response to emails Sent me wrong item. Promised for replacement parts.. Never Sent . No Response Regret bid.100%defective.Offer to 'look' at it costs $50! Stay away from BoxQ Not selling what's advertised/brokend parts-this is the second time-poor commun |

wrote: Good overall condition means working IMO In my opinion, too, George. I said so. Please allow me to reiterate: this listing was bereft of specific details about the condition of this item, but long on boilerplate about the seller's terms. That is a danger sign to an experienced eBay buyer. All I am suggesting is that it should have been (and for your sake, I hope it will begin to be) a danger sign to you, too. |
