I know what he did he bumped the NBS you can see how close he has everything in his pictures see below there are screws comming out the side of the NBS he slid the amps on the screws Ill bet on it ... Worse thing is he wont make it right Edited July 28, 2016 by A1UC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) That doesn't suck it BLOWS! I'm with Zeus, sure hope you have some recourse. Homey don't like scratched up sh... stuff. That's solid wood and not veneer and can be fixed? Edited July 28, 2016 by babadono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzydog Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I know what he did he bumped the NBS you can see how close he has everything in his pictures He had to squeeze em tight like that so they'd all fit on the badass doily. Seriously though, that's not right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already filed a claim Beware, there is no shortage of stories on this forum where one member took advantage of another. I personally know of several, yours only adds to the negativity of what can happen to good people who put their faith in fellow members. I'm not sure about the understanding you had with the Seller, but at least the VRD damage is limited to the solid wood base which can be repaired or replaced. Glad you have the option for recourse, and hope all goes well for you. Edited July 28, 2016 by Gilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I do not understand what happened. Did the seller send you photos prior to your purchase? Did he fail to mention the scratched surfaces? Did he make claims that they were in great condition? Was the seller the original owner? It is obvious that these have been neglected and I don't understand why the owner was not careful in the handling of these. The good news is that the damage looks like it is repairable, with some effort. Although no one likes to buy stuff that needs to be repaired, especially if there was no mention of this before hand.

richieb Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I had no more left the AGon site curious to see if these had sold, still listed by the way, and see your post showing the carnage. Sad to see the care taken to build and upgrade those beauties is shown so little respect. And VRD's are well packaged with their original boxes. Sorry to see, good luck.

muel Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Painful to see but that can be fixed to a large degree. Doesn't make it right but I'll bet you can get that to where it isn't very visible. Bump Tom Keady for his advice since he built them! TK49 I'll bet your right about how it happened... scraped along the NBS when picking them up.

Moderators dtel Posted July 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's not a real hard fix but after looking at the ad it says 10 out of 10, so it shouldn't be your problem to fix. Glad it was not destroyed as in being dropped or crushed in shipping, at first that's what I was thinking, this would have been much worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 A1UC, Wish you nothing but good luck getting this resolved. Worst that could happen is refinishing the bases. They are solid wood and should look brand spanking new if you have to go this route. After reading the for sale thread, i can't believe you bought them. Hope you got a great deal.

Glad it was not destroyed as in being dropped or crushed in shipping, at first that's what I was thinking, this would have been much worse. A full or partial refund is in order. Ask Craig how much to fix or replace and take it from there. Or just let Paypal yank the funding from the Seller, but the down side is the wait and the return shipping.
