Islander Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Is anyone familiar with this dealer? They seem to have really good prices on overstocks and open-box items, but I hope they're not too good to be true. Their site is at http://stores.ebay.com/HiFiTraderOnline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Haven't done anything with him. Looking at his feed back though, it seems he is either Not customer oriented, or just provides lousy service......... I would pass on him, unless your local and can pickup the item(s)...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburnwilly Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Has no-one heard of HiFi Trader?Last year I bought my Velodyne DD18 from them . Let's see , they advertised it as being 6 months old and in mint condition . 2 weeks after I paid I called to check on the progress of my order . They told me the sub was on back order , which means they never had it in the first place . They lied and I was pissed !!! Talked to the supervisor and he assured me that they would make it right . So after 5 weeks ; they promised I would receive the sub within 10 days after payment went through , I received a new in box DD18 . Get this , the subs serial # indicates it was made 2 weeks after I purchased it ! Instead of receiving a 6 month old sub I got a brand new one ! I corresponded with forum member Soundbroker/Kevin about the transaction and he stated that the dealer price on the DD18 was around 2.9k ; I got mine for 3k + $150. frieghting . Sounbroker stated that what transpired was ridiculous . "How could they stay in biz ." But it's for real !!! I don't know what to tell you . I was totaly misslead on a high dollar item but I received a sub that was better than the one I thought I had purchased ! So as far as my experience with them goes , overall I would have to say positive ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunburnwilly Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 If you look to their feedback in June of 2006 you will see what I said about the transaction . Look for sunburnwilly on page 11 of their feedbacks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Thanks for the info, sunburnwilly. It sounds like they're a little disorganized but willing to do what it takes to please their customers. Looks like you got a great deal! I just wanted to be sure they're not some sort of scammers.
