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.

Great designer, horrible people skills, and WACKO business ethics.
