An experience I had with a seller.


A seller of pre-owned audio gear on another site who is advertising some original Audio Alchemy products, indicated in the description "these were from the guys at Schitt". Here is the story. I emailed him indicating, in a very friendly manner, that the Schitt guys were not part of the AA company, then, nor are now. Just friendly fyi info I thought I would share with the seller and was actually surprised by his misinformation. He was quite nasty to me with his response, letting me know he was right. I had respected this seller for years of his success with his sales numbers, with 100% positive feedback. I am bothered by his response, and his lack of information. Why is this bothering me? MrD.

In the world of buying Vintage Valves, I have interacted with Vendors that have been visceral with their replies and not in a kind manner.

I can't agree to your request would be enough. Hey Ho I found sellers who were much much more worthy to have my monies.

"Shake the sand of the shoe and move on" Friendlier places will be found. 

Guy sounds like a Schiit head.  He should have known those guys were from Theta and Sumo and are legends in audio ....  shifty Mark Schifter was the guy from Audio Alchemy Perpetual and AV123....not quite a legend.   Legendary for screwing people.   I think through a "charity"  scheme,  not a good guy.  

Guy is obviously a rookie.   

There are always two side of the coin. And I will be neutral in my response.

If you stick your nose into someone else’s business you will, on occasion, be told to go eat schiit. This shouldn’t surprise you and or upset you. 
These are for sale ads of used audio equipment. Whatever the back story is, it isn’t going to cause physical harm, and you don’t know if the story is true or not. 
You should probably find better and more productive options to allocate your time to.
