I didn't read it carefully, but the whole "some equipment able to ship..some equipment not" sounds like it's not as much of an auction as it is a solicitation for offers, to me.

22 sales and his rating is down to 95%... No thanks.

Actually the ONE negative is from a buyer who tried to make him ship an auction, or appears that way...

seller makes promises he wont keep,cancels transaction to rip you and ebay off. Buyer:

i was able to pick items up, seller impossible to deal with

yeah, the seller sounded screwy to me. unless you live within 150 miles of him it's a huge tease. just put the crap on craigslist. and like goodwill says sounds like he's fishing.

That seller is a complete and total flake and should be banned from ebay.

His MO is to fake poor/broken English, and post deceptive pics and descriptions that don't agree with each other. You'll never really be sure what exactly is being sold, and i wager that is actually subject to change right up to the moment you might ever actually receive anything or be able to come to terms with him.

I've exchanged a few emails with him. It seems he wants to go there, see what you want and make a deal. It's only a 45 minute ride for me, but I can't seem to find a weekend afternoon that I have nothing better to do. He does have a whole bunch of Altec gear.

sent this message,
(what exactly are you selling?? i mean,,,, some ships some don't ?? what does that mean? why don''t you break this stuff up and do separate auctions. there are parts i would love to bid on. but if you can't say what ships or what doesn't then how would anyone know what to bid on. not everyone lives in NY.) i don't expect a reply

Here's a thread about one of his ebay auctions back in December: McIntosh Gold Mine On Fleabay - AudioKarma.org Home Audio Stereo Discussion Forums

Probably about like having a conversation with Bucky!

three threads at AK about the same guy can't be too far off the mark. :D

vintage altec speaker 604c pair N-1600a crossovers & parts Pick-Up $500 BARGAIN (#221173693673) US $26.99

If he sold all that for 27 bucks He must be screwy.
