I found the English expression. It is ' once bitten, twice shy.'

I remain to be convinced that this is not another scam. I have been trading with China since 1995 and in that time I have seen some extremely daring scams from a large number of manufacturers from that country. The most memorable one is when I ordered a 40 foot container of copper coax cable, only to find that they had sent me steel cables coated with a thin layer of copper. The fan was on full speed at the time.

Eh?
China? I thought Xin was based in California.
Or are you assuming something, due to his name? Dubious post.

Im not defending Dr. Xin's behaviour, but this is the USA we are dealing with, not China.

OK, so the meaning was exactly the opposite to my translation attempt.

I still don't think it's a scam (nor was it ever). Xin had many years of very good reputation before things went very down hill about 1½ years ago. But it is hard to know what really is the truth when Xin has never given any explanation to his disapearance neither in person to person communication nor on his web site even though many have asked him directly.

Corvallis, Oregon.
And that really is his address, jamato8 has visited him there about 1½-2 years ago.

 

[steviebee]

Thanks for the confirmation

Even more worrying since the new Xin is operating his server from Canada.
I know his old address was:
Feng, Xin
3399 NW Poppy Dr
Corvallis, OR 97330
US
(440)540-3537 fax: 123 123 1234

An internet hosting company can be located anywhere facilities exist. He could still reside in Oregon and run his business there.

 

[nc8000]

He still lived at that address in november last year when I last send in an amp for repair/upgrade and that was also the return address when I got it back early february

 

[dealmaster00]

Has anybody gotten an amp? I'm guessing not...

 

[Quaddy]

yes, _j_ on the 'old thread' has had their supermicro a few days ago.

 

[itsborken]

Over twenty days and only one person confirms receiving an amp (and not a reference to boot). The good news is at this rate he will easily complete his backlog of 3-5 outstanding amps in his three month catch-up window. There are only a few outstanding amps he owes people right?

 

[rhadtheman]

Hmm.. he's back, eh? I wonder if I still want the Ref and Supermicro I ordered........

 

[rhythmdevils]

come on Doctor! You can do it!

 

[nsx_23]

Did Xin ever make a supermini3 or supermicro3?
