BEWARE OF SCAMMER: Nick Lange, aka Nick20, UWisconsin77...
****DO NOT do business with Nick Lange from Florida!******
Nick Lange asked to "borrow" my Purity Audio Caliente to audition it before buying it. He had bought some stuff from me before without issue, so I reluctantly agreed. He did not return it, and has not replied to any of my PM's or emails since.
Nick stole this amp from me, plain and simple. He has done this to other people as well - see these threads:
UWisconsin77
nick20
After scamming me, and others, he changed his Head-fi ID from "Nick20" to "UWisconsin77".
BEWARE!

I hate to see this happen with anyone, but especially with a member who has pages and pages of excellent feedback. Makes me more leery of dealing with head-fi every day.
I hear of IP bans bandied about on here, but this seems to be an ideal candidate. Rather than take responsibility for what he's done, he flees to another username.
Skylab, I hope this gets resolved satisfactorily, and soon.

Oh dear, I'm very sorry for you Skylab! Thank you very much for the heads up. It's very disgusting that such people uses the good will and helping spirit of the good people in this site to plainly steal and deceive.
Maybe the mods and administration can do something to help you. Good luck mate.

Oh dear! 
Full name and address in the link you posted. May be worth contacting the local police.
I will definitely stay clear!

Wow, sorry buddy, for someone one like you who has given so much to these boards, to be taken advantage of, makes me pretty sick. If I were you, I would try to pursue some legal action. At minimum, this sick SOB might realize that what they are doing is illegal and wrong. take care.

BTW: phone # and address in other thread. Google maps has street view of it too.
Edit: for the lazy- http://www.whitepages.com/search/Fin...caltime=survey
Maybe you should call the household up and tell on Nick. Looks like he lives with mommy and daddy still.

Yeah, it's really not cool. I trusted this guy, and he took advantage of that. And what REALLY gets my goat is that under his "new" Head-fi moniker of UWisconsin77, he even has the nerve to list the Caliente he stole from me in his profile!!!! Unbelievable.

Seriously, there has to be some action taken on this guy. Are you going to go to the police? Do you still have the shipping label/receipt?

I'm not going to comment on an ongoing legal matter 
The purpose of this thread is to make sure others don't get burned. I was horrified to learn that he had re-surfaced under another name and ripped off someone else. I was sorry I did not make the problem more public before to protect other head-fiers.

Skylab,
Sorry about your loss.
I do appreciate your concerns for Head-Fi. This is very helpful info.
Will definitely watch out for this guy.
You too, Cantsleep, I'm sorry about your loss also.

Thank you for the heads up on this culprit, I still remember your reference to him on your previous thread.
I think the best possible action is being taken here on the pages of this thread. I certainly hope that the mods/admin. here can keep him off of this website, and possibly others, and try to expose him before he does his dirty deeds again.
Very unfortunate that someone like this has lost his moral references. Had he taken the honest approach, he could have enjoyed so much more.
I still remember listening to that amp with your own D5000's at the minimeet.
I unique amp for sure, and an awesome group of Head-Fiers.
