Ebay rip off
Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 4:01 am
So I sold an amp on ebay and packaged the fuck out of it, double boxed with so much packaging material it cost me $120 just to ship it. I jammed on it for a good 15 mins before boxing it just to make sure there were no weird problems that arose after listing it just because of all the fucking scammers out there.
So the asshole who bought it filed a claim today saying it was not working properly and was making weird electrical noises and humming, so I told him to check the tubes and to make sure it was in an outlet that didn't have dimmer switches or flouresent lights on it. He says he checked the tubes before he even plugged it and tried it on several outlets before even filing the claim. So I told him to take it to a tech and have it checked out on my dime.
Then he emails me back saying the power cord poked holes in the speaker cones and that is the cause of the noise. I have been shipped many amps that have power cords attached and never have had a problem, nor have everheard of this, plus I don't think it would be possible for the cord with no force on it get up in the basket and then be able to punture a speaker. I'm waiting on the guy to send pics, but I have seen on his feedback he did something similar to a guy months back looking for a huge discount.
Any thoughts from anyone about a cord poking a speaker would be appreciated, maybe I fucked up, but all my mesa's have chords attached at the factory and they never poked a speaker in shipping.
