Watch Out!, FAKE SENNHEISER RADIO MICS ON EBAY

[rob1963]

In defence of ebay, I've spent thousands of pounds on DJ related stuff over the last year or so and have saved an absolute fortune.

Exactly the same here.

I don't know how much I've saved by using ebay for gear over the last 5 years or so, but I'm certain it's a four figure sum.

Fibber! You've only spent twenty quid on gear in that period, according to what you post on here.

I spent £20 on a rope light on ebay and half the lights didnt work !
Spent £60 on a cd player that lasted one gig.
Bought a set of cd's that looked like they had been rubbed down with sand paper.

Of course ebay allowed me to send it all back, at my cost !!!!

Sadly the Cd player didnt get sent back in time and I had to keep it, so sold it back to ebay for £50 despite saying it wasnt working right.

So you knew it wasn't working but sold it to someone else anyway. Nice.

Not at all, otherwise it would simply have been returned faulty.

It was sold as seen and described as unreliably loading CD's.

The bloke who bought it was delighted with it, i can only guess he got it fixed. I got positive feedback for it.

Lol...you're right about my general equipment expenses being low, but I was thinking mostly of my one-off expenses...such as the gear I bought a few years back for a spare CD console and also the gear for my move to digital. Apart from that, there were my CD players, at the rate of about one a year, nearly all of which I obtained on ebay at massively reduced rates. (yes, I know CD players should last more than a year, but for some reason mine rarely did...I think I was just jinxed!).

Jinxed ?--Could it have been because you were buying cheap inferior equipment off e bay

Definately NOT, Crazy!

I was buying standard branded DJ kit from the likes of Numark & Kam off ebay...but at massively reduced rates.

In a few cases, the item I ordered was out of stock, so I was offered an alternative costing £50-£100 more...but at the same price. Obviously I accepted those offers!

I would have gone back to the dealers under the Sale of Goods Act as not fit for intended purpose.

Assuming they still trade?

Any problems call your local trading standards.

I did this with a dodgy Internet Router that lasted 14 months--Trading Standards agreed with me--fortunately I didnt need to involve them after the retailer agreed to a replacement direct from the manufacturer following threats by me to shop them.

The cheeky tried to tell me that 14 months was normal for a Router---absolute

Some people really take the ////

Incidentally this item was not bought off ebay--but makes no difference--far as I know--you still have the same rights on ebay.
