It's official, rogue Walkman trader Mediterrano71 is in fact the very same eBay lowlife as the well documented Smart320 & yanes1122.

These guys are not collectors, they are scammers. They buy broken Walkmans, fix them together with duck tape and whatever bits they have lying around, make wild claims about rarity & perfect functionality then ship them by snail post at inflated rates!!!!

These sellers go to some effort to ensure there's no similarity between items they sell but they get lazy and both cut & paste the same following slightly abrasive 'terms of payment' into all their auctions:

"Terms of payment: US and non European Union bidders must pay only with paypal, member of EU must pay with bank transfer. No checks or other things! All payments must be done within 4 days after auction end and all sales are final. Sold “as is”. )No guarantee, no return and no refund. Buyer pays S&H costs. If you have any questions please e-mail me before bidding!!"

See this thread for some experiences members have had with Mediterrano71. Interested to hear any similar stories from his alias Smart320?

Smart320 and Mediterrano71, GOT IT! -Won't buy from him.
Thanks Cris.

GULP!!!!Have just bought from this seller. I live in hope...BUT.

It going to be broken, I thought the same thing to, hope it comes working, it didn't it came with major problems, He buy these units broken and then resells then saying they work, especially a complex piece like the WM-7 that uses three motor only one belt for the capstan, if he can't fix the cheaper unit, I know he won't be able to fix this guy, he seems to do more damage trying to fix them, the Sony WM-EX 5 I got from him came with broken head he snap it off trying to change the belt!! and pry marks on the unit, when all he had to do was left the cover, it wasn't snapped in. I would just retract the bid and let eBay safe and harbor know the reason why is because what you read from other paople on this site and that you didn't know this to after you won the item, they have his account flagged already , you probably won't get a buyer strike, he paid $30 bucks for that unit on his other account, and the guy that sold it to him said it won't power on.

That is a real shame!

A couple to look out for:

Smart320 has just bought a WM-51 & a WM-F2, no doubt planning to fix with his hammer & glue. be warned if you see these advertised any day soon under his Meditarano71 account as 'Rare, Mint, etc'

I did a search for Meditarano71 as a seller, and it says that account can't be found...

I did search with wide parameters for SMART320 looks like there maybe several accounts this lying cheating seller is using.. beware of these others as they may be same person if buying Walkman's.

Further to GULP! Much to my amazment after what has been reported about smart320 the JVC CX-7 I puchased arrived well packed, promptly and in near mint condition cosmetically but with one body screw missing. Expecting the worst I found the sound output was both horribly distorted and of low output.I gave the top end a thorough cleaning and to my great surprise it works perfectly. Looks as though I was very lucky.

<a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2eg90kh.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

This is a nice item. Colour is a deep blue grey metallic.

if i were you i would look to the sky and say thank you,,,as your lucky number just happened to pop up.

Either that or this modern-day Fagin wants to make amends within this community. He should, you are his market.

Hmm.
It does look like you got lucky, I'm pleased for you
The listing doesn't mention the problem you had when you received the walkman... so the seller is far from perfect, IMHO.
All that "Sold As Is, no guarantee no returns" crap would make me run a mile.
Have you found any problem with the Play button as the listing suggests?

No mechanical problems with this so far. The volume seems a fraction low in output and as I said there was a trim screw missing. Did he have it apart? Amazingly after what we know about this fellow this ended up a pretty good buy BUT I wouldn't go back!

Be aware smart320 is back again

Who is bidding on this rogue's trash??

Hello guys out there, it was very shocking to me to see what kind of rumours are walking around. It is horrible to see what kind of chivvy has been started against me. That is absolutely not fair!! Shame on you!!! Hey you agentorange from London, Frankenstein was created bay an English lady called Mary Shelley and she was born also in London where you live!!! Better be informed before writing such as stupid thing. I know many English persons I´d like to have them not living on this planet. I have read all the things about me and I can say all the things are unfounded. You have picked out only the things which went wrong and disregard %99 good working sales, for example the JVC walkman I have sold to Australia or the items Jazzrat2000 has bought. I have declared the JVC as faulty although it wasn´t. All you guys don´t have a correct behaviour. This is obvious when I read the statements. I see that both sides are right because they are disappointed. One side is sure that he told the truth and the other sides is thinking this man is trying to cheat one. One of the absolutely main thing is, I always prefer and practice to be honest. I don´t like liars and to be a liar. Before I sale something I always test it. Guys, these things are 20-30 years old!! What do you expect??? In addition to this these items are analogue items. So many many things inside are mechanical components. On the way to the buyer you newer know how they are be treaten by the workers and they are in stock in a cold humidity warehouse. For example the WM-EX5 was in absolute working order.

The seller DrMR2000 or better known as Maurice Gotay (I don´t know if it is his real name) told me things that were very dubious. At first he asked me if I have a tracking number ´cause he had not received the item and after I gave him the tracking number suddenly the item was delivered but was faulty. Tell me all the guys out there does this seems dubious or not??? I am sure everyone has the behaviour like me. In the past I had many many problems with un-honest buyers. Therefore it is always frustrating me when it seems that an ebayer is trying to play with tricks. The WM-EX5 the buyer Maurice was absolutely sure that the head is the problem (he was unbelievable wrong). Item had not a faulty head but remote control was the problem. I have listened to the walkman with an ordinary headphone and everything was ok. So this shows that both sides are right, seller and buyer. Beside the problem with the walkman Maurice was soooo abusive and barefaced you can´t imagine. I have all the mails he sent to me. At least he used words like ass hole and so on… On stereo2go platform he never mentioned that he said and wrote all these things to me. The solution for me was to contact ebay to stop Maurice.

I want to be good with my walkman enthusiast friends out there. But some of them don´t want to be. So, to let us give a chance I am willed to have the situation better. Do you also want it????? If yes please delete all the negative statements about me at first.

I am sure many of you guys want to have own some walkmans which he/she hasn´t got and I have. I have to reduce my collection because of having not enough place for my sweet walkmans and my girl friend wants to have them reduced. In addition to this I have many many spare parts I am sure you need. Just contact me!! I will help you.

Firstly, many thanks for coming forward, many wouldn't, I think this deserves some respect.

To the point in hand. It's clear from your words that there 'may' be discrepancies in some of the transaction details but sadly much of this will boil down to one person's word against another's & we know these issues can be tough to resolve in a public forum so can I urge you to deal in person with the buyers individually?

The reason we decided to warn collectors against dealing with you was the sheer number of issues that were coming to light, yes everybody can have a transaction go wrong but it appeared that with you there are many. A lot of it 'appeared' to originate from the angle that you felt happy to describe units as fully working/mint/no issues when actually the truth was actually very, very different.

OK, I have never dealt with you (I don't think) so I can only state here that I am relaying the opinions of the majority (read this forum, you don't have many friends here). That said, as modirator, I do have a duty to offer as much collective protection as I can.

You must admit, the case for you isn't strong, 2+ eBay accounts, unrealistinc shipping charges & numerous unhappy customers, the icing on the cake for me was a DC2 in a WM-2 belt clip.

Yes, you may have had some succesful transactions but would you deal with an eBayer if there feedback was less than 99%? I wouldn't. Any negative feedback doesn't look good but you seem to have quite a collection.

So, although we appreciate that you've come forward I think the good people of Stereo2Go would be more interested in what went wrong rather than what you think went right.

Thank you for your statement that I deserve respect to coming forward. That is also my opinion. I thought I have to do something and do the first step to solve this bad situation and let the people know the things from my point of view.

No, I am sorry there are not so many transactions went wrong with me. As I stated before, I always tell the truth but I don´t want to hide the light of my walkmans under a bushel. I never feel happy when I describe units as fully working/mint/no issues when the truth is actually very, very different. This is not my way to handle things. I think it is the right way to discuss all the “problems” with all participants who started a chivvy against me and everyone should be informed about everything.

By the way I also sold a walkman to you and you were very pleased to have a deal with me. It is not ok from you to start this chivvy when you have had only one transaction with me which went absolutely correct. It is obvious that I have many friends because I have sold sooo many walkmans to other persons they were very satisfied after having the deal with me. If you can only state here and relaying the opinions of the majority stop playing the devil!!! It is not your business to play the moderator and speak for other persons! It is not your duty to offer as much collective protection as you can. Other persons are adults and know what they do!!

It isn´t probable that I may have “some successful” transactions, it is for sure! I have many of them!!

What is wrong in selling a DC2 with a belt clip of WM2? The vendors are happy when they get an additional sweet item fom the 80s for free.

If you appreciate that I came forward and you are the initiator of this campaign, you also have to work hard to have the situation much better. I am convinced and look forward that you, the others and me will do it and things will be better.

To all of you: have a nice day!!

What's wrong with selling a DC2 with a WM-2 belt clip? Interesting. You're clearly a man who doesn't mind driving around in his BMW with a set of Mercedes doors.

OK, you've made your case, what do we all think? Does Smart320 deserve a break?

Hello agentorange12, I am sorry but this statement is very unqualified and it is a stupid comparison. The door of a car is absolutely essential thing but you can drive in a BMW with a Mercedes pillow in it. If you want you can throw away the pillow and go ahead driving your BMW! Do you agree with me? You do! It is the same. If you want to use the DC2 without the belt clip, this is possible. But you cant use the DC2 with the circuit board of a WM-2. How do you know what the buyer wants to have? He was very pleased to have an additional belt clip from the 80s! You think everyone on this world is like you.

Better think about which walkman you can have from me! I am sure there is one or more walkman you have not in your collection and you want to have it. This will help you much more.

What do you exactly mean with "Does Smart320 deserve a break"?

It took over three weeks to get there, and with others having problems with you, I had to ask for tracking, that all I ask for and even then you gave me problems,you must have shipped it "Pony Express" then item came with broken head to make matters worse and I was abusive? You can pull people legs all you want, but I already put the emails you sent me on here. Then had to wait over 2 months from Paypal to get my money back from the trash you sent me and refund wasn't from you. Then you have over 20 accounts all of them have a few negatives, you had enough breaks already, and the JVC had problems you just got lucky, all it needed was a good cleaning, you buy these broken and sell them overpriced and not tested. No reason to fight with you I won the case.

I took a picture of the broken head and posted it here to, shows the red glue you used to try to glue the leader back on, and you bend the mount to hold the head on. Never tested the remote could have been broken to.

"OK, you've made your case, what do we all think? Does Smart320 deserve a break?

A CLEAR AND RESOUNDING NO for my part personally. As an owner of 300 Walkmans most from Ebay I can speak from experience. On Mediterrano's part yes selling these many year old mechanical devices can and often arrive not working or partially. Sadly I have come to expect them not to work unless I have paid a very high $100 plus price. I will fault this man to his face for often buying broken Walkmans ( proof in other posts) then reselling them as is or with his less than professional ability and repairing them. Maybe he can repair some and they arrive working and yes he has some happy customers. BUT SIR you sold me a Sony 10 series late 2008 arrived not working of which at time I paid $100 w shipping. That it was sold as perfect function and arrived not is not the worst issue. IT was the TONE and immediately telling me I was trying to take advantage of you. At all times you were difficult to work with. You resolved Nothing with my problem. That being said let me suggest to YOU Mediterrano that your selling practices are less than honorable. You want to sell on Ebay and have this community buy or respect you then the following will be done. I note that all sellers members of this forum when selling DO THIS.
1. If you sell a player that was broken and you repaired it DISCLOSE THIS AND WHAT WAS DONE.
2. If there is ANYTHING wrong or issues with Walkman SAY SO IN THE LISTING... period even the smallest detail!
3. No warranty no refunds no returns. I SAY NO WAY. It may be said (in kinder words) but often when I get a player say tape does not work but radio works we settle on fair value of player and seller has refunded part of money THIS IS FAIR. Out of 300 purchases you and one other person only people to be totally unpleasant from get go to deal with and would not make amends in any way.
I fault you for a real occurrence not others. And more so because SO many on here HAVE BEEN BURNED by you. Actions ALWAYS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
4. You would do well to study AgentOrange's and other members Ebay listings. AgentOrange stands 100% behind his sales, he states clearly all information on player and if repaired ( btw he is one of the most capable knowledgeable men in the WORLD to repair them in my opinion). He is well respected world wide. I for one am thankful for a honest man that Cris (AgentOrange) has been and his time consuming efforts for this forum and all of us whom he has helped and I may note OFTEN FOR FREE even repairing Walkmans! Change your ways and let us see proof of this if you want acceptance and respect. I do thank you for coming forward as Cris said MOST WOULD NOT.

LASTLY your opening statement shows your real side ( nearly always attacking/ confrontational and argumentative) clearly with your example of racial prejudice toward the English by saying QUOTE "I know many English persons I´d like to have them not living on this planet." You also insulted AO personally with line before that. You SIR do not come to this forum of many races / peoples and bring your attacks on a level of race , color etc. If you were a man of honor you would talk about the actions of others. AgentOrange as moderator did his job and with the MANY members problems with you rightfully commented on ACTIONS observed notably OFTEN from you. You may have issue with Cris's comments but he never called you a unrelenting unworkable NAZI DICTATOR. I can assume that slur you would find personally distasteful. None of us have referred or insulted you for being German, we attacked you as a person for your actions. An apology for what you said of English people and of Cris is in order. I thank the forum for their time and belief in a community helpful in spirit. JohnEdward

mediterrano on AgentOrange comment on selling a WM-2 belt clip with a DC2 there is a basic truth missing. Yes many people who buy walkmans are collectors and would know that the belt clip is not correct to the DC2 when it was a case with shoulder strap. BUT there are many newer buyers who do NOT HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE and would have bought and paid high price for the DC2 assuming the clip was correct for model thus adding collectable value to item. IF YOU had disclosed you were including belt clip FREE so item could be worn on belt and that IT WAS FROM ANOTHER SONY MODEL WM-2 then selling that belt clip is FINE. It is not just telling the truth but you often are suspect of the action of OMISSION ! OMISSION=LEAVING INFORMATION OUT YOU KNOW about items counts as not being truthful/honest.

To be honest, that would require you to tell people that your units have problems, and sell them at a lower price, but you sell them for top dollar as perfect working no problems.

I can not understan why it is so hard to make the people understand. Once again: I an item is faulty I tell it, if not why should I declare it as faulty???!!!! These are analogue items. You never know when and why it is not working properly. You must confirm this if you are an experienced collector. Very often happens to me that I put a working walkman back into my vitrine and the next time it is not working properly. Now imagine I am sending a very well working item from Germany to USA which is a distance of 8000 miles. It takes about 3-4 weeks to arrive. The workers are treating the items not carefully. In addition to this humidity in the ware house is another problm So now I am asking all of you: Are you not able to understand what I mean???

Mediterrano you evade the attack on English people. On answer to your question am I not able to understand what you mean. A cassette player function may be damaged ( rarely) by shipping and item you shipped was safely packaged and of NOTE THE PACKAGE had no damage or crushed corners indicating rough handling which can happen long distances. BUT fact is that almost ALWAYS a walkmans RADIO works and well when all else fails. Your item having not only the cassette unable to move the tape and subsequent total motor failure but ALSO a radio that would not tune in any station and stay holding station in seconds always loses station goes to static. Is there a chance the cassette function AND radio totally damaged beyond function due to shipping in the remotest sense yes. But I must and do conclude that unit you sold me was NOT PERFECT FUNCTION when it left your home in Germany.
As with any situation selling of items across great distances and two peoples word against the other truth is hard to find. You failed to understand my original post here that it is your selling practices, wording and most of all your totally aggrevated defensive combative response to buyers. Might I add there are many members here who have had your disregard for diplomacy and finding a agreeable solution for buyer that dictates my comments. If you persist in stating to us that you have done NO WRONG, SOLD NO ITEM not exactly totally as described and always worked with buyers to solve any problems your reason for entering our forum seems at an end. Any seller will have a few note 1 -3 buyers that are taking advantage of seller but you have far more than that even with hundreds of sales the multiple negatives under all your seller accounts is not acceptable to me and most on this forum. Please note that MOST sellers on ebay even ones with THOUSANDS OF SALES have 100% feedback. This is not because they did not have problems but they SOLVED them and worked with people. You repeatably have not done so in far more than 3 or 4 cases!

My business here is done, I will continue to urge collecotrs NOT to deal with the sellers Smart320 & Mediterrano71.

Sir, you are antaganistic & confrontational not to mention a cheat & a fraud. You simply CAN NOT hide behind your logic that "The workers are treating the items not carefully". This is absolute rubbish, any decent seller if presented with a situation like this would refund or part-refund at the very least. No, not you, you just fight & defend with rudeness & arrogance.

Mediterrano1717, if you have no intention of making reconpence with the numerous Stereo2go members you've ripped off, can I strongly recoomend that you go & get back to your unique line in theft.

Agent, regarding "It is not your business to play the moderator and speak for other persons! It is not your duty to offer as much collective protection as you can. Other persons are adults and know what they do!!" taken from above, mediterrano7171 is clearly wrong. A moderator should allow freedom of speech, but step in and advise/moderate when things go wrong or folks would benefit from protection. These things and others is just the kind of stuff you get right! Also you have clearly given this person a fair crack of the whip judging by your comments above, which I would support. Shame all ebay sellers aren't as good as you.

To mediterrano7171... any outstanding issues could be nullified by judicious use of PayPal? Just a thought...

@ Mediterrano

I have bought many things of ebay and I never had problems with shipping. Those things included delicate electronic components - far more fragile than a mere cassette player and they always arrived in perfect condition. From my experience, cassette player can take a lot of beating - much more than an mp3, minidisc or cd player can and still work fine. So your logic is flawed.

I always suspected you might contact us in some way but you didn't provide any excuse that would explain all of this. Instead you are confrontational. And by the way, naming people with their real names here like you did with DrMR2000 is really going over the line and it is disrespectful and invasive. Plus, in the end there you wanted to bribe AgentOrange with that spare-parts-I-can-help-you stuff. A bad call!

You obviously don't understand the concept of a community. If you showed a hint of understanding and gave us a certain acknowledgment about transactions that went in the direction you didn't want them to go, I'd consider you fair enough. But as it turns out, I think those transactions did go where you wanted them to go. That is to say - into tricking people. Also, remember this guideline - A buyer is always right. You are the only bad experience I have had on ebay.

And no AgentOrange, I don't think we should give him a break. Was willing to let go but he made it worse for himself there in the end.

For now let's take our friend Mediterrano's silence as an admission of guilt. Either that or he's busy gluing pieces of old Playstation to his next consignment of "mint/working perfectly but no returns accepted" eBay crap.

Agentorange, I don´t know whether you are employed or unemployed but I have much more things to do than respond to all statements. When I am silent this never means that I admit that I am guilty. If you are horrible and will continue to urge collectors not to deal with me it is your decision but be aware than I will beat you with your own weapons and do the same and tell the people what kind of man you are!! Caution!! Not only with Agentorange also with the others. I know all your nicknames. If you change your nickname I will sort it out who you are!!

I don´t think that I am antagonistic. If you have had done bad experiences I did then you would agree with me. In the past I sold perfect working items for a good price. The buyers mentioned the item is not working and got back his money. After receiving back the item I saw the item is still working perfect. After having bad experiences I have lost my faith in people. That is the reason!!

I have tried to solve a problem but wasn´t successful. Probably sometimes I was wrong but you all aren´t %100 right. The people on this platform expected an admission of guilt from me. Than everything would be fine. So I give up and keep going my way.

Whish you all the best!!

This did not work because I have a tracking numer. **** for you. Then you have tried another way with claiming a non working item. This will also not work. No normal person is opening a box while a camcorder is working and no one has ten witnesses at the same time. Paypal wouldn´t believe you. The purchasing price was too much for you and now you want to get back some money. Starting with a new head and $25 for replacement and then $30. You are absolutely free to do a claim at paypal. I am prepared for it. You will also loose like the others who walked the same way you are trying to go at the moment. I did so many experiences. They all lost!! I will wear you down like I did it with the others. By the way paypal did much more experiences than me with ******* persons like you.
Go ahead do a claim at paypal or where ever you want. I am ready to fight this battle!!!

I am also an expert in electronics cause I am an engineer!!

He buys broken Walkmans from different accounts, then fix them together with duck tape and glue, making claims about how rare and that they are mint and in perfect working condition, for a very high price. Then ship them "Pony Express" at inflated rate. Of course he figure noone would bother to take the unit to a shop to have it check out, due to the fact it cost money and the fact most shops won't even bother to look at small units due to its hard to find parts anymore for these type of units and Paypal require this to refund you. I must say you had a good thing going for while "unique line in theft", hopfully everyone can join in and put a end to this unique game of "cat and mouse" once and for all!!

AgentOrange I believe it is time that as our moderator it is time for you to stop holding your tongue as you have been and rightfully so as our moderator. This "BEING" ( not a person per his behavior here and Ebay ) should understand his actions and words rightfully deserve response in tone that ( doubtfully ) he will still understand. He now threatens not only you but all of us openly. EBAY should be fully aware of this "BEINGS" conversation to our community as it clearly shows a man who will continue his line of theft upon Ebay. Everything that has built Ebay is based on sellers honesty AND TREATING BUYERS fairly and without insulting attacking communications. I am certain Ebay does not want a man with his attitude AND SELLING HISTORY on Ebay. Clearly the ONLY REASON for MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS is because of negative feedback. The shear number of accounts he has should be a HUGE GLARING RED FLAG of dishonor to ebay which should BAN HIM FROM selling. Thank you DrMR2000 for vigilance and informative updated information and the community for responding.

I'm not going to spoil the party, if this little man hasn't got the backbone to admit when he's been exposed then I'm more than happy to sit here and laugh at his feeble fumbled punches.

Mediterrano7171, is the nasty man being horrible to you?

your 100% correct !!!!! an old grateful dead song ends with the lyrics saying " nothing left to do but smile, smile , smile. that says it all. what more can one say ??????

Hello my special friend Agentorange. I love you especially. As a moderator you should have a constructive behaviour. Instead of this you are destructiv and keep going to fan the fire. I think you aren´t really familiar with the responsibilities of an moderator but you can learn it. I am sure...

Guys, in the future I will sell some of my jewels. Keep an eye of them and see how they are going to be for sale. But be careful regarding your mouth waters.

Wish all of you the best.

I'd pay serious money for Mediterrano71 to shut up... put a sock in it! I wouldn't take those jewels even if you were giving them away!

I'd pay serious money for Ebay to ban all his accounts and future accounts that have anything to do with his address, name and phone for him and his family members and anyone that live within a 2 mile radius from him or known friends of his. I pay Ebay up to $2k to have them do the all the above!! I really hate this arrogance chauvinist pri#k!

But then again, like I always said give him the rope so he can go hang himseft, his own combination of arrogance and ignorance, is going to lead to his own demise!!

It never but never was my intention to affront someone but I never got a chance to show my real face. Instead of this a war against me has started. So here I am and face the truth. Let´s have this rending war!!! I love it!!!

Hello Maurice, you are the most funniest and ridiculous member on this place. I love you ´cause you make me laugh. You are always telling how civilized and well educated you are and that you are a doctor but you have a behavior like a construction worker. Your education and attitude is comparable to a simple farmer (without rubbishing them). But to be honest in the past I have seen many many "well educated" and "degreed" persons from USA but they are sooo bird-brained that he don´t know the difference between Switzerland in Europe and Swasiland in Africa but they think they are silhouetted against the others. It is very simple to get a doctor graduation in USA. Just go to the supermarket and buy one. You told me that you are able to speak many languages. I assume this is including German. You have sent me mails in German. They were soooo funny and ridiculous you can´t believe. I have showed all your mails to my american friend here in Germany and he laughed also and was very embrassed to see a compatriot like you who is allways telling that he is a doctor and can speak 5 (five) languages. Instead of you he is really well educated. No wonder his living since many many years in Germany and got his education from real doctors and professors, german ones.

To Tuna:
Do you know the difference between "I would" and "I will"??? It is up to you! You can buy them or not. But it will definitely hurt you when you see them go by. It is like a child who is too small to get the candies laying on the top shelf. This makes me amused. In this situation I´d give anything to see your dumb face! Please take a picture and send it to me. If it is very funny I maybe send one jewel to you for free.

It is great to see how angry you are.
Have a nice day!!!

Oh I am not angry. Just surprised because I didn't think you were such a first-class moron. And no it doesn't hurt me to see someone else got your stuff. As I said, knowing where it came from and from whom it came from, it wouldn't bring me any joy. Oh and lets not forget those "jewels" would come in broken in mysterious ways. But I guess my postman likes to meddle with walkmans...

Just because a person is not good in geography doesn't make him/her ignorant. Ignorance is the worst kind of primitivism. Like the one you showed. By not trying to work things out with people and by refusing to accept the responsibility as a honest and fair seller, you are by all means just the kind of a seller anyone should avoid on ebay. You are deceptive and a fraud. So if I were you I would ask myself - how did all this people on this forum get so many grudges against me? How did it come to that when they don't even know me? You have serious issues and can't overcome your complexes of not being able to say sorry even on a simple internet forum.

Please leave the forum.

P.S. Please don't send me anything. I actually like my stuff to work! Also, to tell someone he/she has manners of a construction worker is not really an insult. Construction workers do work so that they could get paid. On the other hand, you cheat people! Have a nice life, I think your destiny will be a grand one

Sounds like he's protesting too much.

Agentorange, like me and many others on here, is proud of his 100% feedback rating. Look at any of his auctions and they're examples of honest, detailed, accurate, reliable descriptions based on expertise. The reason people are happy to pay good money for his (and our) items is because he is trustworthy.

eBay is based on trust. As such, any behaviour that arouses suspicion (such as having several accounts, negative feedback or the bizarre and threatening messages we've seen on here) is going to rapidly degrade that trust. As this thread's grown, it's provided ample testimony that smart320 or Mediterrano71 is not someone who can be trusted.

Weird personal insults and racism are never ways to defend yourself or regain trust.

"These are analogue items. You never know when and why it is not working properly."

This feeble excuse simply holds no water. If one claims to be "an expert in electronics cause I am an engineer!!" (sigh) and describes something as being in perfect working order, and that item then proves to be in far from perfect working order, it's fair for others to accuse that person of lying, cheating or deliberately misleading.

Thanks again for the warning, AO. I'll be looking elsewhere for "jewels"...

he claims to be "an expert in electronics and is suppose to be a an engineer!! but can't release the latch to release the P/B head from play mode on the EX-5 snapping it off and bending the mounts that hold the P/B head in place, and all that he was trying to do was changed the belt? not to talk about the pry marks on the side of the unit, my next question is why did you even removed the door to change a belt, when all you had to removed was the cover and why the pry marks?

Unlike you I do know how to fix these, at components level including surface mount components. That how I know you broke it and not the post office like you claim. You just can't admit when you are wrong, and try to placed the blame on someone else, but yourseft.

I try being civilized with you, but all you did was personally attack me and others and yes I am very geography knowledgeable been all around the world, also was a true engineer worked for Intel as a "Logic Design Engineer" in California, Folsom. "Design the CPU that in your computer" and don't poke at construction workers etheir most of them are engineers and work hard to earn an honest living, unlike you that like to cheat people out of there hard earn bucks.

If nobody minds, I'm going to keep this circus going. I love watching this little turd getting a good mauling from all sides. This post has had nearly 800 views so we can rest assured that more & more users are learning of his poison. We will see in time how many buyers find his rubbish "Mandatory to walkman collectors".

Everyone else, our job is done here, this fool is guilty, happy to close the post if you think it wise otherwise feel free to stick the boot in.
