wait...so some guy took you for $22 and you harassed him for 8 years? you know, it sucks getting screwed over, but when you weigh $22 vs. 8 years of harboring a grudge, i think you lose. and to turn around and order from the same guy again is just flat stupid.

I hear you.The grudge was a matter of principle.When I saw him advertising himself on the net after a few years of silence,I thought that I had an opportunity to set a wrong right.It wasn't the 22$,but that I really needed a schematic as ,in the country where I live-there are only 2 such amplifiers,and if something should go wrong...
I ordered again because I had no choice,I had been looking for years for a 220V transformer(power) instead of the stock 110V.I thought what the hell,after what he had been through with me,he wouldn't risk a repeat performance.

  Principle trumps money every time......................Americans as a whole would be far better off if they exercised the same vigilance with our voted in constituents ie. yes means YES/no means NO.

    My favorite scumbag is an audio manufacturer that requires a prepayment for his gear. For a while I tried selling his gear. He announced an upcoming price increase. I took a prepayment from a customer, after explaining that I had to send in and that he would be placed on a waiting list, at least a couple of months long. His check came in, I mailed off his order, and sent an eMail to the one man operation. When I got my bank statement, I noticed my check hadn't been cashed. I called and was asked why I didn't send the order by Registered mail?
    
    OK. He claimed he didn't get the check.
    
    I contacted the customer and asked if he wanted to go ahead, cause I doubted that my check hadn't arrived. He wanted to. So, I mailed off another check, Registered mail. I got the receipt back.
    
    After two months, the check hadn't been submitted.
    
    I called and was told he wasn't on the list, cause by the time they got the deposit the price had gone up and the deposit didn't cover the new price.
    
    I called the customer. He wanted to know if I had cash on hand to give him a refund. Since the manufacturer never submitted my check the customer's funds were available. I sent a refund to him, paid a fee to stop payment on my check.
    
    The manufacturer sold an amp directly to the customer. I had the cashed check I sent to the customer over my desk for at least ten years.
    
    It reminded me to never do business with an out of state audio company that doesn't have stock to sell, even if their products have ionosphere ratings.
