Jeffs Sound Values in CA. PH not working/closed?

Sad news indeed. They were my favorite local dealer. I was always treated well there. I wish Jeff and crew all the best.

That is a bummer.He's had ad's vbery recenttly.Wonder what he 's going to do with stock?Can't be selling if he's not picking up phone.

If he's entered into bankruptcy, he can't really ship orders, answer the phone, etc.

This would have to work it's way through the courts.

I just completed a deal with him about a week ago. Here is an email he sent me.

"That would be fine. I'm actually closing my business so I'm going to give you my home address and make it out to my name, not the business name. Don't worry it is still on the up and up and I need to maintain my good reputation as I'm going to continue to market the Sonic Euphoria products that I manufacture." Jeff Hagler

Towards the end of the transaction he wasn't responding to my emails. The last email I recieved from him was to say that my cable shipped and even after that wouldn't respond back to me. When I called him before the cable shipped I talked with Jeff at his shop and he said he was having internet dificulties, hence the email problems.

Perhaps he is just busy right now?

I live here in San Diego, and have bought/sold directly from Jeff in the past. I just tried to call myself, and got the automated, "We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service" message. Then I did a quick Audiogon search, and found this thread.

Bummer. Is he really DOA? There are some Audiogon listings of his that were just posted. Perhaps they have just closed the retail store only? I will drive down there this weekend and see if there is a note on the door.

I do recall on my last trip there he was bitching that National City had recently enacted a sales tax increase of 1%. That comes right out of his buyer's pockets. In a highly competitive business like audio gear, a 1% price increase could be a deal breaker. Maybe he saw sales go down as a result. Or maybe it's just another resale store squashed by the ebay elephant?
