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

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?

I believe you are on the site right now that would "squash" someone like Jeff's.

Hi - happy to say that Jeff checked in this afternoon PST (11/16)and shipped my PLC today. My bad for jumping the gun.

Sounds like he has had a hell of a week with personal matters - I told him that there was a lot of love on this thread and that he ought to check in.

He did not mention anything about his business, but he is apparently building PLCs at his new address.

Jeff is a great person to deal with. His patience, advice, and great service will always be remembered. I wish him Gods speed and guidance.

That's good news.

The guy took care of me, probably doesn't even remember, it's been so long ago. I bought amps from him and after warranty expired I had a problem. He fixed them cheap.

Took a while but KEPT HIS WORD.

What's that worth? Everything in my book. Hope all goes well for him.
