[R-390] What a screw up and a rip off !!!

[Rick Popovich]

Yes Steve and Bob ...good point. However the is one caveat; If you are
going to send your box you as the buyer have to accept responsibility if
something does happen.

 

Another quick but true story: a few years back I sold a very nice, very
clean EAC R-390A. The buyer was paranoid that I could not possibly pack
it properly even though I have never had anything I have shipped damaged
in transit.

 

He insisted that I use his box which was an exact recreation of the
boxes these receivers were originally shipped in minus the crate. It got
dicey when he also insisted I was responsible in the event of any loss
or damage. He also insisted he pay using the infamous PayPal.

 

I told him that I could not in fairness to both of us accept
responsibility using his shipping container. I told him the only way I
would be responsible was for me to pack it in my boxes (with the
appropriate charge for packing materials) and only then would I be able
to accept his payment via PP.

 

He refused and in turn did the same ... he finally paid by cashiers
check and I packed & shipped it in his container. No problems at all but
I had to level the playing field.
