Have you ever heard those stories of a guy responding to a Chevrolet for
sale in a barn somewhere for $100. Turned out to be a 67 corvette, I think
there was even a song about it. I always wondered if that would happen on
ebay. A week ago Sunday, A Victor I was posted on ebay for $330.00 but it
now. As my heart began to pound, I couldn't believe I was the first, and
"those who snooze loose" motto popped in my head. I checked out the photo's
and the unit was in mint condition. I immediately purchased it which began
a roller coaster of emotions. The other motto of "if its too good to be
true, it usually it" also reared it truth of reality. I checked his ebay
and history and there was none. A tracking number was given and DPD (out
of Germany) had no record of this number. The person was also from
Lithuania! The phone number given was also bogus. I sent four emails
asking for verification and to no avail, no response!
The good news was that I alerted paypal. They said that they agreed that
this most likely was a fraudulent sale, and I would be guaranteed that I
would receive a full refund. We have to wait, there's a 1% chance he might
still send it, but paypal has to wait 30 days (time limit for the seller to
send the package).
I made a huge mistake and let my emotions get the best of common sense. I
hope my mistake will be of help to my phono friends.
Best Regards
Randy Larson
