That is silly Constantin, they are messages to me. And believe me a whole lot of people are interested in them. And yes I will be very Vindicated. Respect is an opinion, I'm dealing in facts here.

The sentence structure in this paragraph is too messed up for me to figure out what he's saying. Put periods and commas where I have some chance of figuring out what it is you want.

Few, or whatever your name might be, I agree it currently looks a little foolish, so I think I should straighten it out with some facts and let everybody read and make their own opinions in the court of public opinion. I mean the communications back and forth what's wrong with publicizing that? Then I don't have to say another word people can make their own minds up. Sincerely, Martin

Oh no, Mr. Munger had a choice to make and he made it. If he in Rado are going to blame me for Munger selling bad products, let's just get it out in the open. Again, he had a choice to make and he has made it. I'm certainly okay with that. Sincerely, Martin

Timothy, Ok. That means you want me to post the communications I'm okay with that. Thank you, Martin

Jim, yes. I agree. What say you seller? One word out of him saying any of this is not 100% accurate and I will post the whole transaction communications. Every single communication was through the messaging system and I have already screen captured every single one of them. Sincerely, Martin Wandering, I guess you are making assumptions here, and wrongly. The passage you quoted above deals with a seller asking you to pay in that manner. That didn't happen. I chose to pay that way, so, I see where you made that assumption but that's not correct. Thank you, Martin Rado, I believe you have seen the screen capture where the seller called me multiple names that most people would find very objectionable. Would you like me to print all those screen captures with your friends name on them, so that everybody can see what's going on here? Sincerely, Martin

Mike, I guess I could cut and paste the definition of double standard, but I think everyone on here knows what that term means, I hope. That doesn't fit here. There should not have to be any dispute resolution inside this site when someone takes your money and you are left without a product. That's right on the border of the legal definition of theft. People should not be forced to do the right thing. As I mentioned in an earlier post I have sold in the last 15 days to 3 different JW members and all three used family and friends. Not one of those people needed to worry about me giving them a refund if something wasn't what they thought it was. I didn't worry about having to give them a refund because the items I sold were exactly what I told them they would be. PayPal doesn't "guarantee" that the resolution will be in your favor even if you are ripped off. This seller is using this site to sell his broken items and using eBay to sell his functional items. Thank you, Martin

John, I have had this conversation with PayPal and they have no objections to someone sending money however they want to send it. You made an assumption that PayPal considers this cheating. I'm not sure where the double standard would be. So, PayPal has no belief that they've been cheated and if not for finding the other buyer that had a similar problem I would have remained cheated. And let's not forget I'm still out $55 and a very large chunk of time, because of a dishonest seller. Thank you, Martin

John, while I certainly appreciate any help Rado provided, I think the "resolution" was mostly helped by me being able to tell the seller that I knew about the other buyer that he sold the Identical product to in the same week that was also in need of repair. When you ship a guy a transmitter that set at 53 DB, you know it's broken when you shipped it. When I plugged the mic in, which I think is what we all do when we get a transmitter, I could yell into the mic and it barely showed on the input screen on the transmitter. So of course I went to the gain screen thinking it just needed to be turned up. It was at 53, the max. The seller turned it up to 53db thinking I was incredibly stupid, I guess, and wouldn't notice. There shouldn't have been any need for Rado to tell the guy that he needed to give a refund. The seller had the product back all he had to do was hit refund. He refunded the money when he didn't have much of a choice. I have sold to 3 different buyers in the last 2 weeks on here, they all paid with friends and family and haven't had any problems. No one has to" force" me to give a refund. Thanks for your input. Martin

RP, there are no guarantees that if you pay the fees through PayPal that you will get a refund. To the contrary, their investigation is going to be very short. I'm still out money on this deal and a whole lot of wasted time. Thank you, Martin

Wandering, I think you can read the previous post. There is no buyer protection when you send the money via the family and friends plan on PayPal. Which as I mentioned earlier might have led a dishonest seller into believing that he had protection not only from PayPal but from the Court, which is not the case. Sincerely, Martin

RP, thank you for that. I do appreciate it. I used PayPal friends and family and that may have been part of what led him to think he could just keep my money and not give me a product as agreed. The seller may have led himself into a belief that he was protected because it was sent friends and family. But that just gives a Seller Protection from PayPal, that does not give protection from the Court. He would have found that out had he not returned my money. The Court does not concern itself with the method of delivery of payment. I could have thrown cash out the car window at high speed and it landed in his yard and he said he received the money. It doesn't matter how he got the money, he did get it.

Rado, He sent me a really terrible message, calling me a lot of names, and then saying don't ever message him again. And I'm okay with not messaging him ever again.

My particular situation has been resolved although I'm sure they will continue to sell on here. If I had not found the other person that also bought a transmitter that needed repair from the same person in the same week, I likely never would have gotten a refund. The only thing that got the refund was that they got caught. I'm still out $55.00. I'm not sure I would call that resolved either.

I am not "jumping to a conclusion". He sold two transmitters in one week that both needed repair. That is a fact. It happened. Does everyone want me to just cut and paste all these messages from the other buyer that bought a bad transmitter and all these messages from the seller? I think that would sure put an end to this, I can just host them off the site and send you a link. Can you can make your own minds up.

Jeff, I don't know that you over reacted. I don't know what I would have said, were I you. If this hadn't gotten resolved, I would have sued the guy, and certainly would have won. What a pain in the neck. Anyone who wants to be in a lawsuit is crazy. Thank you, Martin Ok, well there we go. He sold 2 transmitters in one week, to 2 different people, that needed repair. The verdict is in.

If somebody contact me right now I will give him the name of the other jwsoundgroup number that he sold a broken transmitter to in the same week but he sold me mine.

Rado, Public humiliation worked.

Rado, Thanks. I appreciate that. I have had to sue somebody before and it sucks and it's depressing. But it's effective. I'm not sure when somebody's in the wrong and they know it why they would ask for such misery. I think too many people bluff about suing. Thank you, Martin And there is no slight here on Jeff or the site. I'm not making any kind of claim that there's anything wrong with either one. There are just bad people on the planet, some of them are plumbers, doctors, teachers and yes, Sound mixers. I had really good luck buying Michael McQueen's Nomad 12 a few weeks back. I would definitely buy from him again. But they can't all be that easy to deal with. Martin

Jeff, I don't understand that. Are you saying you only want people to say to private message me to find out who did this? Or are you saying you don't want people to private message me? I'm confused about that statement. Thank you, Martin Jeff, In a follow-up question. Do you care if I post this information somewhere other than jwsound? Public shame may be the only thing that fixes the problem with this crook. I have had other members agree with me this may be the only route for me to get my money back. Thank you, Martin

Al, I am out over a $1000. I bought something, it was broken. The person selling it knew it was broken. I sent it back. They are doing nothing. Another of the members on this site bought the same model number, and it had to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. So, I paid over $1000. , they now have the broken product and I am out over $1000., not to mention, I was buying it because I need it. Now I still need it and I don't have the money to buy it from somebody who is not a crook. Oh, yes that's why I "feel" like I was ripped off. You can private message me, and I'll be happy to tell you who, so you won't get ripped off. Martin More. Did I contact him? Of course I did, we've had about 20 exchanges back and forth on the messaging system. This isn't somebody who made a mistake, this is somebody who cheated me. You can see the reply I put above. This is somebody who knowingly sold a broken product and I contacted him about 30 minutes after I got it. I sent it back to him and now I have nothing.

Hello all, I have been ripped off buying from another member on the site. If anyone wants to know who, you can private message me, or make a useful suggestion here. Thank you.

I guess I was picturing the scene. I mean that if we are talking sound for picture, then if you have water dripping from trees in your scene on camera, I would think you would have to hear the drops the camera sees falling. Cicadas sound carry about 10 times or more, the distance that water drops do.

I wouldn't think so, that Cicada sound carries 40 yards, I don't think you could hear drops of water dripping from more than 10, maybe 15 yards. Dripping little drops of water are pretty quiet.

Just throw the pancakes into the woods, the dogs will go in the woods to eat the pancakes. The dogs in the woods will make the crickets be quiet, and they won't bark (the dogs, not the crickets,) and voy luh.I think I would use waffles maybe, because the little holes would snag branches and keep the dogs busy for longer.
