Hi RAT's,

Is there anyone around with negative experiences by buying " The Audion Tube
Book" at Kasugi on Ebay ?

More than two years ago he offered a book, " The Audion Tube Book" , on which
one could subscribe prior to the publishing date (Oct. 2002) . By subscription
a book free of shipment costs was promised.

Price was $ 152.00 and 150 pieces were offered for subscribtion: all were sold.
The publishing date lay far beyond the 90 day Ebay feedback period but the
advertisement looked impressive with good photographs etc. and Kasugi had a good
feedback record so I subscribed for a copy.

He still displays a good feedback record but I fear the 150 buyers weren' t able
to give negative feedback anymore after what happened as time went on.
I've never seen a printed character in a book or any book at all from Kasugi.
Axinia Schäfer, who is the man behind Kasugi, was fairly responsive to my
emails with questions about the delivery of the book. His story was always that
there were delays due to refinements in the editing of the book. To some extend
I can understand this but not for a period of two years. Finaly I've asked for a
refund and now it's getting very silent from his side......
This operation must have raised over $22500 to Kasugi and I'm sure nobody
received this particular book. Negative feedback on Ebay is impossible now as
you may understand.

By coincidence I've found a second victem of Kasugi. He had the same experience
with the book "Living Stereo" . This book is still 'offered' by Ebay member
"Acoustical-Systems', another Axinia operation.

I'm intending to report this to Ebay but would like to now of more Ebay members
with similar experiences to give the complaint more momentum.

Like to read of other Ebay-RAT's who became victem of Axinia.

Best regards
Ron

Hi Ron:

A friend of mine also ordered the book and has told me the EXACT same story.
If you want to correspond with him directly, send me an e-mail and I will
forward his e-mail address to you.

Hi!
I also made of purchasing a book from Kasugi, and I am sorry to say that he is currently a ebay seller trading under the account of: acoustical-systems
See: http://cgi.ebay.de/Jadis-JS2-MK-II-R... QcmdZViewItem
I don't know how was he accepted with another account!

I don't know how was he accepted with another account! He currently has 99.6 positive feedback!!! You can check the stuff he is currently selling at: http://stores.ebay.de/tubes-and-rare-vintage-audio
He even lists his name at the bottom of the items!!!
