There was some confusion on my part because I had indicated $62 shipped to CONUS -- Laine is located in Hawaii, and I didn't realize that shipping to Hawaii does not cost more via USPS than shipping within the Continental US.
Laine is truly a pleasurable person to deal with. Extremely well-mannered and polite, excellent at communication, and quick to respond. People like Laine are the reason why online exchanges can be smooth and lovely.
An excellent addition to our community. Welcome, riceboy... and "sorry about your wallet"!
I may not post around here much, as I'm new to these forums, but I go by the forum handle of buffbiff21 on other hardware and A/V sites.
I bought a set of Sennheiser HD580 headphones from Laine. Shipped Monday, almost immediately after I sent payment, and I received them a few days later. They're exactly as described. :k1000:
With very fast and clear communication, fast shipping, and accurate descriptions, you can buy with confidence from riceboy!
riceboy (aka Laine) purchased my PS Audio GCHA. Payment was prompt and communication was excellent. Laine is a really great guy and an asset to Head Fi.

I sold Laine my HD600, and from start to finish the transaction was a true pleasure. Fast payment, polite and consistent communication. I look forward to doing business again in the future, thanks!

I sold Laine my Grado HP-2. The entire transaction was smooth as silk.
Communicating on the phone with Laine was truly my pleasure and it was wonderful to talk to another Grado lover. Laine knew exactly what he wanted and was fast to pay and let me know when he received the headphones.
I'd recommend him to anyone, and I'm very happy that my HP-1000's have found a home that will appreciate them :rs1smile:
