Salt Peanuts Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 i haven't had Uptons, but i really like the kukicha i have. mine has matcha, i'm not sure how much of a difference that makes. I like Uptons - I've enjoyed their tea and since they're based locally here in MA, whatever I buy comes in very quickly. I've been trying to cut out most of my caffeine intake and figured I'd try kukicha before going the decaf route.
Dreadhead Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Two bike attachments (fork style) with matching wheel holders for the rack on my Subaru. That way I can have up to 4 bikes on the car. Will be useful for my training camp in WV in March.
Salt Peanuts Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 HE-60 from randerson3024. Nice, Mike! As for me, bit more modest purchase - Amazon.com: Herbs & Spices: The Cook's Reference (9780789489395): Jill Norman: Books
Voltron Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 HE-60 from randerson3024. You're on fire!
Dusty Chalk Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 HE-60 from randerson3024.Wait, didn't you say you were in the NBZ due to granite?
tyrion Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I am so something will give as a result. I've worked out favorable terms with Bob. In addition, some times I have no control, okay, many times.

cetoole Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Nice! You sure dont fool around, 0 full size headphones to what, 4 top 'stats and a few dynamics in a month?
CherryBomb Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 It appears I spent $2K being scammed on this audiogon auction: STAX omega sr 007 mk1 For Sale | AudiogoN I certainly feel like a winner right now.
mypasswordis Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Yay for 'stats! Not yay for scams. How did he scam you?

That sucks. I assume you are not the member who left the negative feedback so others seem to have "bought" the same package.
cetoole Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Money order for $1900 from someone with a -4 feedback on agon sure doesnt sound good.
CherryBomb Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Exactly as Voltron described. The guy initially had 0 feedback. As soon as I saw negative feedback this morning, and the description for the negative feedback, my stomach jumped and I immediately called the bank to see what could be done. Maybe I'll get some of it back. Probably not, though.
mypasswordis Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Damn that's terrible, sorry to hear about that. Really hope you get your money back, that's not at all chump change.
CherryBomb Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 No, it's not chump change. The wife is not going to be happy. I feel like a moron for letting it happen to me - who purchases $2K worth of gear from a seller with no feedback? I felt like the ebay reference he provided was spot on since all the purchases and sells were for CDs and other audio-related items. Still, I should have PMed that particular eBay seller to confirm that it was the same person as the audiogon seller (I now assume they are in fact different individuals). The honest truth is that I did not heed any of warning signs, or take proper precautions, because I was focused on making sure I was the person who scored that awesome gear. To make up for my stupidity, and the loss of funds, I'll probably sell of few pieces of my favorite gear. This should remind me not to be an asshat next time.
CherryBomb Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I'm hoping the guys suffers a long, drawn out case of ass cancer. I'd also like the cancer to go into remission a few times so he gets his hopes up, and then his heart broken, when the cancer returns. Hey, and so long as we are hoping, maybe fate will see to it that this guy suffers a few violent anal rapings by a pack of spiked-dick werewolves. My, my. . . sounds like someone is bitter.

CherryBomb Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Please tell me you didn't send a MO to some random guy in Europe??? Wire transfer. But yes, as described above, I'm an idiot. The bank is recalling the transfer, but assuming the guy paid attention in crook school and knows to take the money out of his bank account as soon as it arrives, I'm screwed. And yes, given my actions, I probably have it coming. That sucks ass. What about going after audiogon? I guess if enough people have been similarly scammed while using audiogon, and if a fair argument could be made that audiogon knew or should have known that folks were getting scammed, then maybe a class action could be brought. But honestly, I'm not a litigator and have no clue. Seems highly doubtful.
n_maher Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I doubt you deserved it, it certainly sucks and is a pretty painful lesson.
