there is an issue with the equipment, that you were not made aware of, you have several options;
1. Cancel the deal. We send the equipment back to you. No harm – no foul.
2. Restructure the deal.
3. Have our certified vintage audio tech diagnose the issue and give you a detailed description of the
problem. Our tech can give you the average cost to repair the problem. (your local repair shops rates
may differ from our rate)
4. Our tech can repair the equipment to the agreed upon or swap meet listing condition so you can
consummate the deal.

Give each item as complete and accurate a description as possible. Be sure to note cosmetic flaws, such
as nicks, scratches, rack marks, or chips. Point out if anything is missing that a buyer might naturally
expect to receive with the item (i.e. manuals, cables, accessories, etc.). Make sure you know the exact
model number or version, if applicable.
Include a detailed photo of the item you are selling.
Make sure you and your buyer are clear about exactly how much money (if any) is changing hands.
Decide who is paying the shipping charge.
Insure the shipment for loss and damage with the shipping carrier. Make sure the insured amount is
appropriate.
Pack the item safely and securely.
Agree upon the method of payment. One of the surest ways to avoid payment hassles is to ship Certified
Bank Check or Cash On Delivery (COD). Other popular means of classifieds payment include PayPal,
and other third-party services such as escrow.com, which hold the buyer's money until the item is
delivered, then release the money to the seller.
Confirm the purchase before shipping. Send an e-mail to the buyer specifying who, what, where, and
when. Before you ship the buyer anything, wait until you get a confirmation back.
Let the buyer know immediately if there will be a delay in shipping.
Follow up with the buyer to make sure everything arrived on time and satisfactorily.
