Re: [slim] No more Squeezebox Classic in Europe? or just sold out at the moment?
Yeah wheres all the »sales ethics« gone? *sigh* Regarding ethics: I decided to give an eBay offer a try now: Squeezebox Duet, used 14 days, savings about 50 from original price, including original receipt from the buyer, warranty left: 23½ months. What can I say? Transaction done in 4 days total, like new (even all the plastic stuff around each and every item), all original parts included, great packaging, everything worked. Looked more like been used 14 minutes instead of 14 days. And nice communication in between: »Your money received«, »sent package today«, »enjoy your buy« and so on. I wonder why that guy ever sold his Duet thanks anyway! So now Im a (very!) happy owner of a »brand-new« Duet. -And- havent totally lost my confidence in ethical sales and win-win situations. Best buy I made for the last 5 years or so. -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

FYI: I got my »full refund« today (no interest, of course) after 70 days. Seems there are many »teaser offers« out there, no real merchandise. I should have been warned, since the article appeared almost 30 cheaper when »found« via price searching engines like billiger.de, guenstiger.de, ciao.de and the like. When ordering via phone (and asking for availability!), a much higher price was confirmed not on the phone but on the written order confirmation. After complaining, they told me I must order via the price searching engine, it would give »special prices« only available online. (Yeah, to lure the customers ) In my opinion, it somehow invalidates the reliability of the price searching engines, if anyone can make a »deal« with them to have their items appear »cheaper« than the competitors pricing.

One of the tricks to getting you to their site and order from them is to post very low prices for the searched item, but then insist you contact them to confirm your order. When you do call them they try to sell you *extras* like extended warranties and will even try to sell you accessories that should be included with the original item. When you don't buy enough extras then all of a sudden they no longer have the original item in stock. :) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] No more Squeezebox Classic in Europe? or just sold out at the moment?
I can't speak for Germany, but in the UK I think it's against the law (or at least very bad business practice) to take money before dispatching the goods. Also, if ordered by credit card, you can use the credit card company as leverage to reach a solution - either having the goods delivered or the order cancelled. I would suggest it's very much the fault of the merchant if they're taking money for goods they haven't dispatched, even if it was LT's fault for a lack of stock in Europe. -- simbo *bedroom:* squeezebox 3 = audioengine a2 *study:* squeezebox receiver = marantz pm6002 = grado sr80 *lounge:* softsqueeze = mce 2005 = yamaha dsp-ax620 = mordaunt-short premiere *anywhere:* squeezebox controller 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/buggle52) simbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11481 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58525 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
