Wyatt's, was RE: [Phono-L] Styli...
gee, this is the first negative about Wyatt's i've ever heard, in 15 years. illegal...? really, is it? i suppose they could just add the surcharge to all prices...but that wouldn't be fair to the non-CC people. maybe there's another device they can adopt, to level this out in a better way. i'll just say that i've always found the Wyatt's to be flexible, fair, honest, speedy and responsive, and - most important - talented. and Dwayne can usually fix stuff that nobody else can. the reason the phone hours are limited, is because he is so bad about dispensing copious free advice that Donna has to rein him in so he'll get enough work done! although they don't set their phone machine to record messages, and don't have an online ordering system, they do have email and are responsive. this is no slam on Ron or anyone else with a differing opinion, and certainly there are several other fine phono repair/parts outfits, but i just wanted to add my own experiences to the record.

Yepper, believe it. Credit card surcharges are illegal in CA, CO, CT, FL, KS, MA, ME, NY, OK and TX. Additionally, Visa and MasterCard prohibit surcharges. The merchant is expected to eat the surcharge as business overhead. However it's legal to offer cash discounts. Splitting hairs? Yup. But that's the way it is. Loran

Wow, if having that much cash on hand is an issue, maybe collecting phonos isnt your bag. Swaps meets and flea markets in your area must all take VISA then? You are really getting kind of overly picky arent you? I only deal with Wyatt's out of desperation.

I did most of my collecting when I was younger and single and not paying child support. It will change but I have to watch things carefully until they do.
