| | | | Got screwed on replacement speaker
Sign in to disble this ad
Bought a used speaker off of eBay. Listing said the speaker worked perfectly and listed the model number of the speaker. The model number was a match for the speakers in my GK SBX +. The speaker came and not only was it not the model listed in the auction, but it is blown!!!
Am I just gonna have to grab my ankles on this one or is there any chance I can get my money back? |

| | | | This is so frustrating. I had it in the shop for a month because we only have one place that I know of in all of Oklahoma city that works on bass cabinets. I paid a 110 bucks for a bench fee and reconing. The guy at the repair shop told me it was fixed. I get it home and it still has a speaker buzzing. Now this. I'm so sick of dealing with this. Sorry for the rant. It's just frustrating when you don't have the money for new equipment and you don't have access to any decent repair shops. |

...and if it's more than 45 days after the auction ended you're SOL anyway, I'm afraid...

| I did. I emailed him yesterday, but I haven't heard back from him. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but my patience is running out.

Maybe because someone sold me a bunk speaker that wasnt even the same speaker it was advertised as and won't respond to my emails. Considering the circumstances, I think I am being MORE than reasonable. I have given him 3 days to respond, I haven't left any negative feedback (yet), and I have been very polite in my emails. How much patience am I supposed to have? |

The guy undoubtedly knows he sold you a POS & isn't going to do anything until you force him to. Time is not your ally on this. If you have tried to contact him and he does not respond, put a hand on the $$$ you sent him...now.

But...are you certain it's the speaker that's "buzzing" and not something with the cab?

How long ago did you purchase the speaker?
