I made the grave mistake of buying a recap kit from HifiAudio (seller from Brooklyn, NY) prior to checking here for reputation. Many threads on AK talk about HifiAudio negatively, and now I understand why.
I read the description on ebay carefully. It says to be cautious of sellers offering incomplete kits and inferior products while claiming the parts offered in this kit are complete and top quality. After the order is placed, I get a message telling me that there is an upgraded kit with *all* the parts needed for restoration, and higher quality than the one I bought. Then he texted my cell phone outside of ebay asking to send the invoice. I got suspicious and checked around for info. Here is where I found a bunch of complaints. I went back and asked him to cancel the order. He flatly refused, insisting on shipping it and chastising me for expecting him to do what a customer requests. I told him it would be much easier to simply refund the purchase as I plan on returning it. He said he doesn't care what I do. I plan on reporting him, not that eBay gives a hoot about its customers.
Please do not buy a thing from HifiAudio if you care about your money or your equipment.
