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. dace Michigan USA dxAce Michigan USA 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. Pete "dxAce" wrote in message ...

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. dxAce Michigan USA |
