At that juncture she had no responsibility to get back to him whatsoever. He
lost the auction...

In reality, he was trying to alter or defeat the auction process by making
another offer after another individual won the auction.

As an addendum, what she was probably trying to say when she said she'd get back
to him was that she'd get back to him if circumstances with the winning bidder
change.

Another no-brainer.

It would have been
better if she had said "look, you lost the auction, and that's how it is".
I don't have respect for blow-off artists. Actually, I don't care for eBay,
unless I can deal with the seller face to face.
For this reason, I only bid on things that are in the Chicago area. It does
limit my options, but if I want to buy a currently available item, I just
buy it new. None of this "works perfectly, but as with all electronic
equipment, sold as is" bit.
If I really want something bad enough, I enter a very high bid. If I come
out high bidder, good........if not, oh well.

Hi Lucky,

I understand how you feel. The worst thing is that the seller told you
that
she would get back to you, and didn't.
As far as this model receiver, more of them will show up.
On a good note, there is a high probability that this receiver has a
blown
1st mixer, and not too many people know how to repair this
receiver...............that is, if they can even find the SL-6440 mixer.
Out of 5 of these receivers that came up for sale in the last year, I
either
ended up repairing them, or sending an SL-6440 to people that needed to
repair the receivers themselves.
People don't generally sell them unless they are broken.............this
isn't always, but in my limited experience, it seems to be the rule
rather
than the exception.
Of course, the seller has the choice to be a blow-off artist if she so
chooses, but would you really want to buy from that kind of person? It
makes
me wonder if the radio was any good to begin with.
Who is the seller? I will make sure that I avoid that person in the
future.

Why?... he lost the auction... plain and simple... I can't see how or why
he, or
anyone else doesn't understand that.
