Riiiight, a brand spankin new account made just this month.  Blame me for being rude and presumptuous, but something here stinks.

As for pricing, I am trying a new paradigm of pricing including shipping and Paypal.  I set my prices low enough to cover costs, gain interest and close to what I expect to recieve.  So far this has been successful. 

 

If sellers would realize that in the end very few buyers pay top dollar for goods, especially in these difficult economic times.  If you accept that time has a money value, a quick sale at a somewhat lower price ultimately results in more value to the seller because the seller has use of the money sooner.  This is what I do when I sell surplus equipment.

At any point, you could've posted photos of the gear with your username written alongside it.  That would've fully dispelled any doubts that you have ownership of the item being sold. 

You failed to follow STANDARD PROCEDURE, so don't take these suspicions as personal attack.  You should know that it's the seller's duty to be up front and decisive with proving his/her authenticity. 

Again, I'd be happy to be wrong here.  We sure don't need any more poor attempts at scamming around here, and it'd be a relief to find that my misgivings were unfounded.

Well as I said in my previous post, he obviously went to the Post Office, scanned his reciept, & sent it to my e-mail address.. So I got the scanned reciept that he did post them by USPS.. I of all people have trust in this seller, & I'm pretty sure my headphones are on the big bird, & I will post a reply when I recieve them.. Gotta have trust, & then again there isn't a huge fortune involved, nevertheless a buck is a buck.. We all hope this ends well..

Johnnyo,

To put your mind at ease I bought the PS Audio GCHA that datman had for sale after  he and I spoke on the phone. I have received the item today and it was exactly as described. I know I'm also new to the site in terms of post counts but I felt I'd offer up my experience to put people's minds at ease. The man's word was good.

Thanks,

Bob P.

Well I said I would post when I recieved my 701 headphone from Datman..  I got them in the mail today, they are excellent and I am very happy with my purchase. I sent him a PayPal, & he shipped the very next day.. He certainly is no scammer..

Incidentally there was a comment made by  peli_kan  that "I am a new account & something here stinks".

I joined the forum looking for headphones, & this person had headphones for sale at a price I was willing to pay...I live in Canada, the headphones were shipped from California..  don't know what stinks about that.. and thanks for the warm welcome..

Thanx for the great muffs datman.
