I have randomly followed this thread over time and I have a few questions.
In case anyone does not know, I am the guy who sold Subwolfer the VPI, clamp, Dynavector, etc.

When you buy something that is clearly listed as used, do you expect it to look brand new? I expect there to be light scratches, etc, unless I am buying something new.

If something is used, listed as 2 years old and in excellent condition, but not "like new", what condition do you expect the item to arrive in? Does excellent mean like new to you?

How much follow up/follow thru (during the sale or post sale) do you expect the seller to provide? I personally haven't had to contact a seller, post sale, unless the item was defective.

Would you buy something used that you had never seen new? I ask because if you did how would you know if what you are buying is damaged or just looks differently than what you had envisioned?

I ask these questions in all sincerity. In some small way, my reputation/integrity has been called into question as a result of this/these sale(s). If I have done something out of line, I need to know so it doesn't happen again. I have a 100% feedback on ebay with almost 300 total transactions since '01 or '02 the majority of which are purchases I made. I am not a power seller in any sense of the word. I sell only items which I had owned.
Again, I am asking sincerely so that I can completely take care of my end of the deal on the next sale I make.
Thanks in advance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dyna 10X5 you sold SW was the one he returned and that you refunded, right?

If so, and providing I'm reading correctly, this thread is about a second Dyna 10X5 listed on A'Gon.

Yes, that is correct.

In that case, I think your reputation and integrity are safe and sound...

I know it was off topic but as I said I only posted to get some honest feedback.

Hello KMulkey, as Skylounger has mentioned, this thread was not about your dealings with the original poster. I had privately assured the buyer of your table, that he had gotten essentially a steal, at the price you sold the table to him for, and he understands this.

When it was said "stick the Cartridge where the sun didn't shine", this was of course NOT referring to you, and as far as I can see, you've been an upstanding person to deal with, and you had amicably stuck with the buyer of your equipment all the way, until he was 100% satisfied with his purchase. So, with that being said, I think you are to be commended as a good person to deal with. Mark

There's a slight misunderstanding here.

First of all, I've initiated several other threads regarding the VPI Scout I purchased and the Dynavector 10X5 cartridge I purchased. So when you say you've been randomly following this thread, this is not the thread that you're mentioned in, and thus the confusion.

Second of all, I don't recall anyone tarnishing your reputation/integrity in those other threads. If so, please provide specific examples to which your reputation/integrity was brought into question.

However, just so you all know, I did receive a partial refund because of some minor issues. And as Mark points out, I ended up getting a killer deal and am quite happy with the outcome. We're all good now. and I have no regrets purchasing the table from K.

OK, last post on this thread...I promise. You're right, I should have mentioned the other thread and probably posted there...my mistake.
I did not mean to intimate that you, Sub, had said anything derogatory. It was more some of the remarks from others that referred to bad dealings on ebay, and suggesting that I had hidden known defects, etc. I am aware there are those on ebay who might rip people off. I'm just not one of them...at least that is always my intent. The reality is I may have to unload gear again, on ebay or elsewhere, and I don't want anyone wondering if I will deal with them honestly. I am outta here...thanks.

Again Mr K, I think you were honest in your dealing with SubWolf, and you both concluded a trasaction that was agreeable to both parties. My hat's off to you.

We are all only fellow audiophiles trying to help one another out, whether that person is buying, or selling.

While I know it is against Akarma policies to openly wave your wares outside the classifieds section, feel free to drop me a PM line if you have other gear to sell, maybe we can help each other? Let's try to all help one another, in a friendly community. Mark
