This week featured scammers: SOUND EMPORIUM

WHERE BOTH GREY MARKET AND COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS ARE SOLD

Sound Emporium has stepped up their PHONY TESTIMONIALS in response to
the enquiries we have received about this vendor. HIFIFORLESS.COM is
clearly the PEOPLE'S CHOICE, Sound Emporium are NOT!

EMPORIUM n
1. a store, usually a large store, that offers a wide selection of
goods

"SOUND EMPORIUM": NO store, no wide selection, no goods. Just grey
market
JUNK sold without authorisation!

SOUND EMPORIUM has been revealed to be a scam operation selling counterfeit
and/or grey market products. Despite their constantly changing name and
morphing into different "companies", Sound Emporium is a feckless fraud!

OFFICIAL RAM BLUEBOOK VALUATION WORLD HEADQUARTERS
ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!

Notice too that this scamster keeps posting under phony names, first
"Robert Benson" than Benson Manga, then last week as "jeffbeck". Now a new
fraudulent address hiding behind giganews and usfamily.net!

Robert Benson
Suzanne Manka

Are the likely culprits, although they are hiding behind layers of
anonymous
email addresses.
Service? Nope. Support? Nope.

No phone number. No verifiable email address. Hiding behind
sockpuppets
and anonymous email servers isn't the hallmark of a "quality" vendor.

A quality vendor like "hififorless.com" has verifiable phones and
addresses,
has THAWTE secured ordering, and provides only FACTORY warranties.

The mark of a quality vendor!


On top of the consistently lowest price available on-line in the
U.S. for NEW HD600's, the only "two words" you need to know when you
want to buy a NEW pair of SENNHEISER HD600's, are "SOUND EMPORIUM."
)

"Consistently Low"? What a laugher. Others are far lower on Ebay and
elsewhere.

And they include a MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, not some "distributor's
warranty" that requires you send these suspect headphones back to
China or
Germany.

Legitimate sellers on the net like "hififorless.com" offer REAL
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTIES because they are AUTHORISED DEALERS.


Richer Sounds in the UK were selling the HD600 brand new for just £99
over Xmas!. I think even now the most you'll have to pay for a pair
from them is £120!!, you might wanna consider getting a pair from the
UK if your buying them outside the US.


ALWAYS Bid & Buy with Total Confidence & Assurance at The Sound
Emporium, click here . . . http://www.tcinternet.net/users/bmangman/ .

Except "Robert Benson" was ejected from TCInternet. Along with Ebay,
where
they established another account and loaded it up with phony "praise".

The St. Paul city treasurer's office, can find no such business
registered in St. Pau! The only two words people know with "sound
emporium" is "certified scamsters"!!!


Then there is what SENNHEISER USA has said:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"This outfit is not an authorized Sennheiser Dealer and as such we
cannot guarantee the authenticity or the legitimacy of this product
offering. I suggest you purchase your HD600 from one of our
authorized
dealers in order to secure legitimate, factory fresh product."

Sincerely,

After over three (3) years of McCarty LIBEL, SLANDER and DEFAMATION,
not once has he or any other individual (other than a McCarty ALIAS)
brought forth a single piece of evidence whatsoever that Sound Emporium
products are anything other than what our auctions and classifieds have
stated - not demos, refurbs, returns or gray-market products, but
ALWAYS 100% Brand New, Factory Fresh Audio Components, Including EVERY
Manufacturer's FULL Warranty - NOT ONE EXCEPTION.

In addition, to continue to suggest that we have been dumped by any of
our ISPs, it completely ignorant, unwarranted and harassment. Of
course, our former ISPs can speak for themselves in this regard. We
have never been dumped by an ISP.

Regarding McCarty's continued SLANDER that states, "Despite their
constantly changing name and morphing into different "companies", sorry
to disappoint you again Lee Hodges, I mean Brian L. McCarty, but
DESPITE your persistent DISINFORMATION, while our email address may
change due to our choice of ISP service, we have NEVER changed our
online name or morphed into different companies. Our online presence
and IDs at Audiogon and eBay have been the same from day one. Of
course, these facts are readily verifiable at both Audiogon's and
eBay's respective websites.

That ALL being said, again, after over 400 eBay transactions we
maintain a 100% Positive eBay rating - and after over 200 Audiogon
transactions, we maintain a 100% Positive Audiogon rating.

Simply stated, our online sales represent 100% Customer Satisfaction.

Thanks again to one and all for your consistent support.
Best regards,

The Sound Emporium
