Why do you consider 97.2% a "terrible" feedback?

I have never dealt with them but share you concern. I have restored an =
SX-9=20
and offer the following observations about their claims

" Okay the story behind this receiver, I purchased it for resale, =
Fedex=20
delivered it but the sender didn't put any packing inside so the tubes =
got=20
smashed. "
=20
Little hard to believe since one of the claims to fame of the SX-9 was =
that=20
it was the first to use all metal tubes.
=20
=20
I was surprised how good the receiver is and looking at the =
components, all=20
except a couple of capacitors, everything else looks totally original. =
"
Nothing original about that PS transformer, nor the spoke knob on the =
front.=20
In addition There also seems to be quite a rats nest around the =
speaker.
=20
It needs minimal work to return the receiver to its original glory, =
the=20
cabinet is virtually unmarked and the face panel is very good, all =
original.
There is a phone jack added to the upper right hand corner. Just to =
the left=20
of the logo.

"Why do you consider 97.2% a "terrible" feedback"

Because the odds of the buyer becoming one of the unhappy 3% is 10 times
higher than if his rating was 99.7% and 100 times higher than if his rating
was 99.97%.

I have only been cheated once on eBay, and it was by someone that had a
lower feedback rating.

If you are giving money to someone, do you want them to be honest 97% or
100% of the time? Sure there is the occasional time when a buyer will not
be happy, but I consider 3% significant.

You are right, but one cannot assume that all buyers are 100% reliable. =
Moreover sometimes negative feedbacks are just due to misunderstandings =
or incidents.

So, it would be more advisable to read the red feedback reports rather =
than just taking the percentage figure.
