Below you can read about my troubling interaction with head-fi.org member Nick20. After I would not sell him a power cable, he became irate and threatened me.
Our exchange was conducted solely through private messages, and I have not left out a single message.
I threw up this page as a warning to others. Read it and make up your own mind.
I bought two Quail power cords from the first group buy nearly four years ago, and have never used them. I'm losing interest in audio so I don't think I'll ever use them. So here they are for sale! I dug up the old thread in which I put in my order, http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/group-buy-cheap-hopsital-grade-green-dot-quail-power-cords-60683/. The writing on the cords says (UL) SJT E90165 105C VW-1 14AW6X3C SHIELDED.
Here's a photo I just took: http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=quailgy8.jpg
I'm asking $10 for each cord, plus $5 for shipping. I'll combine shipping if you buy both. Therefore, the cost for one cord is $15, and for both cords is $25.
PM me if you're interested.
Thanks!

Hey, I'll take one or two, if both are available.
Let me know.

To: Nick20
Sure, they're yours. Send $25.00 through PayPal to ********* and I'll ship them out tomorrow.
Thanks

I'll take one. I was hoping a close member to me wanted one, but he doesn't.
How are you shipping?
From: Imperator
To: Nick20
If you just want to buy one cord that's fine. The total would then be $15.00 to *********. I'm shipping through USPS. You can send payment whenever you're ready.
Thanks

I wouldn't mind waiting an extra day or two, to save a few bucks on shipping.
Would you mind shipping via USPS first-class? This would be $2-$3.

To: Nick20
Sorry Nick, I sold them to someone else. I hope something works out for you.

To: Imperator
Sold both?
From: Imperator
To: Nick20
Another member said he wanted one, but sent payment for two and THEN asked if that was okay. So rather than hassle with refunding money, I'm just going to send him both cords.
From: Nick20
To: Imperator
That's not the right thing to do. All I asked if you can ship via a cheaper method. I have PP ready and all. I would have bought for $15 anyways, but was simply wondering if you would ship a cheaper method.
THEN you sell to someone who PM'd you after I did. I did not say I didn't want it, I said I only needed one, not two. If you don't choose to refund his $10, and sell me the other cord, I'll make sure to spread the word about you as a seller.
If you choose NOT to correct this, don't except me or any of my friends here to purchase anything from you again.
FYI, this is NOT a good introduction to head-fi. I except you to fix this.
From: Imperator
To: Nick20
Fix this? Excuse me, Nick, but I'm not obligated to sell you anything.
Because you threatened me, I'm going to post negative feedback about you.
P.S. Learn the difference between "expect" and "except."
From: Nick20
To: Imperator
This is a complete joke. Because I asked if you can ship via a cheaper route, you decided NOT to sell to me.. just keep posting that feedback buddy..
After this PM, you'll be on my ignore list.. you and your way of doing "business" if you want to call that, are a complete joke.
