just thought id bring highlight this seller to any other potential buyers out there in boombox land,i won the auction cheap (see link) thinking it would be a simple half hour drive and pick up,the sellers feedback looked ok at first glance,but after going through checkout there was no collection?..but viewing was welcome during the auction,worst still some poor soul bought the same box off him and never received it a couple of months ago!..no replies to my messages either.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220826263074&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Speaking of scammers...i bought this box over a week ago...no box no messages eather...I'll open a case in a few days..

nearly went for that philips myself..if the guy on my auction doesnt let me pick up i will savage him on feedback,two negatives on the same item cant look good

you need to start a case if he doesn't answer - how long has it been know ?

ebay should refund you - just play it cool - bad feedback can be asked to be taken off and he comes up with some bull then ebay will see it his way - they don't like bad press and will make sure ebay loooks best

start a case and see what they say if he gets back to you or not ?

I bought this box off this guy and never received it.  This happened about 6 weeks ago, i started a case and got my money back the other day.

...and I like seeing ladies in a good 3 piece

Nice one plop

the guy has relisted another gf 525(the same) today! i also got a message with his address to pick it up,something definately doesnt add up with this seller!

wont answer my calls to pick up..why didnt he just put a reserve on it,he obviously wasnt happy with what it went for..complete timewaster...

so he wants you to pick it up - but not let you talk to him on the phone ?

if you go take a couple of big mates !

Dont need mate'(s) just mate.

lf the guys username is farm sales,look at his feedback,he sold it a couple of months ago for £41,and never went through with the sale,the winning bidder left him a negative,i would treat him to a free complimentry negative bison,he sold it before,never went through with it,you won it,never went through with it,now he's listed it yet again..he thinks he can just mess people about for fun..cant do that !!

Bison !!

We Aggree with Mr. Beanie Man

Give Him a Big Fat NEGATIVE ... Politely of course

Well the guy has been intouch about my phillips and seems to have posted it. (some 2 weeks later) the guy must be a lunchout like me

gee the words you Britain's use ... ' Lunchout ' ...

Ever tried being a spacecadet james...ie lunched out hippie

it was a case of ring before you come to collect,no answer every time....he relisted it less than 24 hours after i won it.

Bison..neg the bugger and start a claim...do it now,,

yeah i will give a negative,then again i might pull up outside his house at four in the morning get my loudest box out and let rip for ten minutes too

If you do please film his reaction

lol...for a moment i thought you were gunna say..pull up outside his house with a double barrel shotgun....now that i would like to see lol

Love to see this video on youtube

Well phillips is here...bout to open the box

nice one raheem,result!

Thank you bison...hey have you heard anything mate...apologies for hijacking your thread my friend....

You know what Bison im the same...i bought that big jumbo from germany..It's basically knackered at the moment...i left no feed back lad...I hate leaving negative feedback..and only will do so if im pushed...i will fix the radio in time...i consider myself verry lucky with some of the radios i have had this year, what goes around comes around lad

seems i got it wrong,the seller contacted me last night and apologised for the communication breakdown,i arranged to pick up and got it today.

well stoked with the 525,couple of very minor scratches stop it being mint,decks could do with a service though.. they play a bit slow.

seems i panicked when i read the sellers feedback,the guy must have a garage full of 525s hes got another one on now.

The 525 is a really nice radio bison..i had one,it was in nice condition and i had the origonal manual with it.. but the decks were faulty,but they sound nice,and they have some nice features,its a quite underated box..i sold mine for next to nothing..

nice one bm,yeah well pleased with it,...still not got them pics of that crown,i looked into a programme to retrieve the picsoff my old laptop and its £35,it made this 525 look like a sharp qt.

Nice one bison...HUGE result there ROCK on
