Thread: Searching for someone from Toronto

Hello Guys,

perhaps is here someone from Toronto/Canada. I won a ebay auction some weeks ago: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250671155009&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I have two from this speakers in my selfmade hifi-boxes. One of them was broken in the last time. So I searched worldwide for a replacement. They are very rare and old, but very, very good. Perhaps because of my experiences with straight razor deals I lost my cautiousness. In the last years I never had any problems with deals worldwide. I trusted the others and all business went every time very well. This time I made the bank transfer and I don’t hearing more from the seller. With paypal I would have a chance to get my money back, but so I having no chance.
Perhaps someone that live in Toronto can help to solve this problem? If so, please PM me, I will send you the contact information from the seller, and then I will know if the shop exist or not. Or we have a canadian lawyer here, that is willing to help me. If I can get my money back, I will make a nice custom razor for the person that helped me with it.
I would love the imagination, that the community of straight razor users worldwide is so close together to help each other also with so stupid problems.

Oh my! I hope that gets worked out, it's an awful lot of money... I would be concerned about a seller with a 93% rating and all their feedback set to "private"...

sorry I am in Ottawa but if they have given you an address you can check out google streetview to see if the shop actually exists.

I live in toronto and can help I'll pm you in a sec but if for some reason you don't get it message me as soon as you get this.

I know how much it sucks to be ripped off so anything I can do to help I will.

Very sorry to hear about this Gabor. I hope this turns out in your favor.

At the time, I won the auction the seller had 100% positive feedbacks and the account was not set on "Private". All this happend after the auction.

PM is sent, we will see what will happen.

That really stinks! I hope that there is a good explanation for what happened (illness, death, identity theft) and not a scam!

Seems to be a scam
Basil not found nothing from the informations that I had.

Sorry man.

I tried my best. I was on the phone for hours and even visited a place personally.

I did everything but still no luck. Hopefully something gets done by ebay.
