Subject: Re: Saturday Chat 02.07.09 by TommyT-Bone on 2009/2/7 12:48:34 I violated one of my own rules. Avoid buying electronics off ebay. I wanted to replace a failing Onkyo surround sound receiver. I bought an older model for $95. It wasn't packed well enough for it's weight and came banged up. I got my refund minus shipping but basically I have to remember to avoid buying electronics off ebay. The shipping companies are not kind to these type items. They toss them like a sack of potatoes. Now I have to look for a nice sale item or go check the pawn shops. Another point to consider. Crack heads take about as good care of electronics as shippers. Better scratch the pawn shops. Some of you know I worked for USPS. I was waiting for my final check that was sent on 01/09/09. ............. It got lost in the mail. |
