Got my XXX today.... Damaged....

[BobbyDD 10+ year member]

A lot of subs have a rubber gasket that go around the edge to hide the screw holes.

x2 That should hide it just fine.

get some aluminum sheeting and line it with wax paper, then tape it to the basket on the inside and the outside of the broken part, then fill that with JB weld or something of equal or more strength, then when you pull it off the basket will look as well or almost as good as it did new i think. Just touch it up with some black paint and noone will know. Ive done that before, looked fine. Wish i had pics

Not exactly.... here is a run down of our PM's, haven't heard from him in a couple days...

ME: Got the XXX today but the metal mounting surface is busted to shit!! There are atleast 3-4 BIG chunks that are completely missing and a few other places that are broken/dented and shit too... Did you by chance do that proper insurance coverage through UPS or just go with the $100 minimum?

I only ask because it was my understanding that this subwoofer was in great shape both cosmeticaly and functionaly (the voicecoils did test good at 2.3ohm each), If i would have known it was busted up and looked like this i honestly probably would not have came down on the cash portion of the deal...

HIM: Yeah I actually put a five hundred dollar insurance on it. I dont know man....

ME: Hit up UPS and see what they can do, they said as the shipper you are the one responsable for actualy dealing with them about it... I called them all pissed off and they said they can't do anything about it unless you call and talk to them... I will get you the pictures of damage to show them...

"showed him pictures at this time"

HIM: Well I will see what I can do man. It works okay though doesn't.

ME: Coils read good but... as i said, if i would have known about the damage (if it was there before you shipped it) than i would not have flexed so much on the cash side of things... I came down so much thinking it was in pretty cherry shape...

Well, i know you only paid $100 for the sub, which i could care less about, i mean you gat a sweet deal, that doesn't change the value. But that is an $850+ dollar amp. If i would have known of the damage i would not have cam down any lower than like $250~...

I mean, you basicaly got that amp for $210... I am trying not to be a dick or anything but apparently you knew of the damage prior to shipping and didn't bother saying anything.

HIM: Well the only thing that was wrong with it was just a small bump at the top. There wasn't any pieces missing or anything. I knew I shouldn't have went through UPS. (we now know this was obviously a lie)

Listen man...I am very sorry for inconvience. I would be more than happy to send you somemore money as soon as I can. Once again Im so sorry for the bad trade if you see it that way.

ME: "didn't reply"

HIM: You still got a kickass sub that works perfectly. Just let me make it right over a little time.

ME: What kind of time frame are we talking... I don't want you to feel like you are getting hosed or anything either but... You can see where i am coming from right?

HIM: I guess I can see where you are coming from...it just seemed like you were more interested in the performance so I thought we had a decent deal. I cant put an exact time frame on it but I will promise you that I will make it right.

ME: Well, I am very much into the performance side of it but cosmetic is important to me as well. It is going in my Cadillac so i don't want it to look nasty... As for the time frame, i am in the Army and will be leaving befor too long so... Some kind of "good faith gesture" very soon would be good.

ME: If i can't get an exact time frame atleast let me know what you plan to do to try to make it right. Not going to slam you with negative feedback or call you a scammer or anything sin ce you are willing ot try and make it right... But like i said i do leave before too long so...

Last PM sent was Wednesday, no reply since...

And he was on CA at 4:40 this afternoon.

OP you don't have to call him a scammer, I questioned him in his origional sales thread, and he skirted the issue, ans said it was a "bump". You could plainly see where it was cracked, and in his origional thread where he bought it you can see the ring is missing large chunks.

adam_mersealis a scammer!!!!!!!

You should not have to be dealing with this.

Just have him send you back your amp and then you send him back his sub and his money...Just lose out on the cost of shipping and lesson learned...

^^^

that would be the best choice...

 

[k_schutte 10+ year member]

Can't do anything because he doesn't reply to PM's anymore....

 

[k_schutte 10+ year member]

Shot him another PM as a last ditch effort to keep this from going REALLY sour...

 

[k_schutte 10+ year member]

He is in contact with me again and asked for my paypal address so I will keep you guys updated. Again, i don't feel he is a "bad guy" or a "scammer" i think he just made a mistake and realized it (with some help) and is trying to make it better. I can't be too hard on him as i know what it is like not having a ton of money to just throw around. Yes, this could have been avoided from the beginning but again i feel he is atleast trying to make it right.

I will keep you updated...

 

[k_schutte 10+ year member]

He gave me what he could right now... I think he honestly wants to make this right...
