You did it your way and picked up some speakers any one of us here would love to have. Make sure you have a camera crew standing by for the unboxing. A full blown Youtube vid with some demo tunes would be appropriate for the occasion allowing your Forum Friends to live vicariously though you, at least for a while. +++ Hey, I'm not kidding! Some of those unboxing vids get millions of views! If you monetize it It might even pay for your Khorns! Look at this idiot unboxing a couple of Iphone 7's in different colors. Almost 8 million views! Here is a cool RF-7 unboxing vid. I know you can beat this one. Believe it or not the guy doing the iPhone unboxing video is one of my favorite tech reviewers. I'm actually really big into tech and often watch his reviews before buying products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he needs to wait until he gets the full refund from Klipsch before he can give me the rest which I guess is understandable. Truthfully I didn't even expect him to give me any of the refund until he got his money back from Klipsch. I thought their card was declined?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was but then he used a different card and the payment went through. That's why I never even mentioned the card in the first place because I thought it was an issue that had been resolved but apparently speaking with Klipsch they say that's why they gave my pair away because when putting in a new card they created a second order and cancelled the first one which I guess left the speakers they built me up for grabs.

You tried, I would not pursue another new pair after this run around with your dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 First the guy couldn't find a pair, and now it's raining late-model Klipschorns! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronB123 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Lol I do appreciate everyones attempt at finding me a pair that's extremely kind of you all! The pair I ordered already shipped and they are the 70'th anniversary editions! I am definitely not pursuing a new pair from the dealer I had originally dealt with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKP :-) Yup I cant wait, and not only that but the 70th anniversary ones have the closed back, or at least that's what they say in the description and show in the pictures so it says the whole corner placement thing isn't as big of an issue with these which was a concern of mine as I made a thread a while back about how one of the corners in my theater room has a pipe coming out that would make it impossible to put them right in the corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 That's awfully nice of you to float the dealer a loan. He needs to get his story str8, 1st his card is declined, then a 2nd card is good but your speakers were sold to someone else. You can get the other 25% back when Klipsch refunds the money? As soon as I issue a refund to someone's credit card, they have the money back the next day. How long can it possibly take before Klipsch can process the refund?

Mark Ya, he actually just contacted me and said he finally got through with someone at Klipsch and we suspected they did give the original speakers to another buyer but did start production on the second pair and said 4-6 weeks turnaround. I told him to just go ahead and cancel it, the 70th anniversary were the ones I wanted in the first place, I just decided to go that route to save some money but we see how that turned out. I did get the email from paypal that he sent me the partial refund so that should be on my card by tomorrow I am guessing. According to him, the rest of the money that he hasn't refunded yet was his profit so I am assuming what happened with that is he already spent it and he is going to need some time to get it back to refund me the rest.

Tell him to put it on his card. It's your money, not his to hold onto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being nice doesn't mean you should accept being out your money for an undisclosed period of time. Me? I wouldn't make a stink unless he can't reimburse in full and right now. Everything that has transpired has been his fault. Don't make him keeping the money your fault. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm not trying to tell you what to do, Aaron, but I would RAISE HELL to get your money back, IMMEDIATELY. And if you register your dispute with Discover, you don't even have to raise hell. They were super nice with, very professional, and I got all my money back right away. Whatever his story is, whether or not he spent your profit, NOT YOUR PROBLEM. I would take this to your credit card company immediately and get your money back (which they will do). I recently disputed a charge (not paypal) on an on-line transaction where I paid but the vendor jerked me around on why he would not ship. Right after I started the dispute, Discover promptly put money back into my account. The vendor then took things up with Discover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing seemed a little weird to me which was why right after I ordered with him I called up Klipsch to see if it was an actual legit transaction and they did get the order and knew exactly what I was talking about so I thought it was going to go smooth but I guess not. That was the first time I called, second time was a completely different story which was when the whole credit card decline thing came up.

USNRET Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hope that all is working out. Speaking of Hope, perhaps we can see you next spring and under the influence of Carl's Martoonie hospitality we can raise a toast and laugh about this.
