Dishonest Scammer!

Sold a vintage 100% functional CD player to him via a popular online selling platform. I mean talk about instant red flags, shady (according to Yelp and Google) electronic repairman buying electronics with the seller at his mercy. He claimed to hear "noises" and opened the unit. Upon opening the unit, he "noticed" a cracked gear which he claimed will break in the future. He wanted a partial refund of HALF the total amount which included shipping. Knowing this crook was trying to pull a fast one, I offered $20 to get him the heck away from me. He decided to open a (as defective, so I pay shipping) return for a full refund. Few days later he decides to keep the unit claiming he can repair it. He claimed there were additional issues with it and he already made "repairs" (needed new belts, etc.) and now wants the $20 partial refund. Mind you, I did not authorize for him to open or any perform work to the unit. I refused to give him anything since I know he would be sending a piece of junk back. I would just take the return to the police and get all my money back like I have successfully done in the past. I did not sell him a working item to open it up, swap parts or make repairs. What an annoying buyer, blocked this crook and hope no one deals...

I originally took a guitar amp for repair but I was in a rush and my amp wasn't working so I paid $150 to get it working. When I ask for the old parts he said he didn't have them. I started to pry more into what he did and I took it as that he just replaced a bad tube, for $150!!! A few months later I had another amp that needed repair so I left it with him to get a quote. He called me back saying it would cost $350. That concerned me so I went to go pick up my amp. When I stopped by he was asking me why I wasn't interested in getting it repaired. He then asked me why wouldn't I spend $350 for repairs on a $1200 amp. I looked at him, took my amp and walked out. Apparently he bases his quote on the value of the item instead of the actual repair. I finally found someone else who did the repairs for $165. This...

I was very disappointed with my service. I called ahead because I’m so far away and he told me he had repaired hundreds of Spartan radios. It was my parents, the first piece of furniture they bought in 1941. I couldn’t wait to play their 78 records which I told him about. I brought it down in my car and he said he could repair it, put new handles, 78 player, repair radio and replace webbing on front, which I had bought and sent to him. When I got it home, there was no 78 on record player, only one handle replaced, no webbing but radio fixed and new speaker. I called him and asked for some money back but he laughed and said bring it back. We’re a hundred miles away and he knew that. I will not take it back and will not...
