Appreciate that info.

Sad that he does that. Probably not as good a deal as I thought.

When I see a 98.3% feedback on a 347-transaction record I think that's more than just a couple unreasonable buyers posting the negatives. Maybe with a 5000+ deal record I could understand how a totally credible seller could end up with such a percentage simply because eventually ALL high-number sellers will encounter buyers who cannot be satisfied under any circumstances.

Not necessarily. My percentage is even less..... 95.5% after getting my second negative. I've got 229, but the numbers used only go back 12 months, and I'm not buying as much as I used to and my selling is sporadic.

Yes since eBay changed the way they calculate feedback they only go back 12 months only.I think this is to inflate people's feedback who previously may have had some negatives which I think is misleading,because if they were scamming people say 14 months ago but haven't sold much say a couple items in the past 12 months he or she is going to have a 100% feedback.

Fortunately though most people are good sellers and we have to deal with a very small few who make some transactions

but this seller has had 3 negatives in 175 transactions in just the past month.And most of them for selling used stuff as New

These look like early Model 15 horns and drivers... Just my .02.

I had built a pair of Model 15 clones with the 802-8G drivers and the plastic horns in 1981. They were great, but I traded them for other needed audio gear to get through college. Wish I had them now. I could build a new pair if I had these horns....
