Would you cancel 3,250 deal cause 16 short?

Well, yes I trusted the guy, I talked to him couple of times on the phone, he is a PhD and he had 27 points on the AG feedback system. So I figured that he is not going to screw me up.

Any ways, I guess the deal was too good and he might have realized that because the next guy up was asking $6k for his. It was the Transparent XL 8ft speaker cable. Or the other theory I have is he found somebody else to pay him more. You see, he told me so before I sent the money, but I told him that I understand you will stand to gain more and I have no problem canceling the deal, he said NO it is not a money issue, I just wanted to make sure that you will buy it. I told him please review my feedback I have more than 70 points and when I say that I will buy then it is done.

The funny part is he claims that I didn’t follow the deal by paying for all the bank charges!! I have, and I instructed my bank to do so, I offered to make it up, what else could I’ve done. He said that if I leave a –ve feedback for him he would do the same. Could you believe that?

Thank you guys and I already started over and I am sure I will find something better, it just now I am listening with these old cables that don't match the level of my gear and I am sure anything else would sound better and that is why I will try not to rush.

Thanks again for your support

Geez, it must be nice to have $3200 laying around to buy what, one pair of speaker cable? Sorry, I could't resist!

You must be a bond trader.

Mtyoussif, just curious. About 1 yr ago sold an expensive IC - good stuff - to a "Ph.d. in Germany" and then, about three months ago, the guy starts jammimg me in a thread, even though we'd gotten along fine. I think he'd gotten into the newest flavor-of-the-month cable, somehow, in a weird audiophile spasm, became ticked at me for selling him mine, and thought he'd diss me when I wasn't looking (which I had a "conversation" with him about). He was fine during the deal but then turned suddenly. The guy you are dealing with - his audiogon ticker - wouldn't happen to begin with "S" and end with "y" would it?

Nope, wrong guy. Geez, how many irascible-cable-loving-German-Ph.d's are there out roaming the audiogon countryside? Do a probability analysis on that one...

Jwrobinson, well it is a crazy hobby anyways, you see once you try the better cable, it is very hard to go back. By the way the cable new is listed for $10K. I thought you would like to know that.
