I am sorry you had problems with Joon. I have dealt with him under both
id's and have always been lucky to get goods for a price where the
shipping costs he charges is not an issue.
I don't like that he packs the stuff, because I live a couple of miles
from him and always pick stuff up, and he charges even for that. I
think over time I've done well enough that even though I grumble about,
I'm ahead of the game.
the sad thing is that he has a lot of repairable equipment and needs
people to fix it, but isn't very good a making connections. Not the
least of them being the issue referred to here. I don't know where he
gets his stuff, but there is a lot of good stuff he never lists too.
I'm not going to recommend him one way of the other, like any seller,
YMMV, and count your fingers and toes b4 dealing with him or any ebay
seller.
I just got a couple of gizmos for quite a bit under the usual value, so
we'll see.
If you guys like, (probably not) I can explain this to him when I see
him, as I don't feel he really wants to have a bad rep.
The shipping costs are explainable, he's not getting any deals on the
UPS or shipping, and it is weighed slanted towards really large volume
shipper / sellers, and he isn't one under either id. I sell about 4
things a year, and never bother with the deals you get from ebay /
paypal, going direct to a ups main drop is still the best deal for me.

I just purchased an item from one of my "favorite" sellers on eBay, someone
who ripped me off in the past with a poorly described non working item (but
it powered up!) and ridiculously overpriced shipping and I swore I'd never
do business with him again. Only then he was doing business under the name
jtsele. When I got this latest invoice, something was familiar with the
email address, so I searched my email and found fellow time-nuts that have
had problems with this individual in the past. Well, buyers beware, he is
ALSO doing business as testequip714.
In this latest episode, I bought an old esi LCR meter for cheap, but the
shipping actually cost more than the unit. Still a good deal (even if it
ends up being a parts unit), so I went ahead and bought it anyway. Now I've
received a separate invoice for the sales tax. Not a large amount, but I
must say I'm REALLY not happy to be doing business with this person again,
and still the same old games.
So, just beware Joon Kyong = jtsele AND testequip714. AVOID.
