#427886 - 11/22/16 08:42 PM Buyer beware about buying outside the US
vangelis Member Registered: 12/31/03 Posts: 425 Loc: FLORIDA	I bought a Korg PA800 upgrade kit including a 256mg Ram module on Mar 06, 2016 from a company in Turkey, name of vendor was neverendingstory77 which made a total of 14 sales and now is currently no longer a member of Ebay, anyhow to make a long story short, I got around to installing it on my M3 and the samples are distorting, no way of getting any money back and once again getting ripped off from someone who no longer is available, so buyer beware. _________________________ Currently main setup on stage are:KORG PA4X,PA1000

The problem is not so much buying outside of the US as the fact that you buy from am unreliable company witouth doing any research to a companies background... Advise to online buyers, only buy with people that can be trusted, and have a long cover sheet of recomendations and possitive reviews... probably should also say. only buy from western countries... they all have approproete customer protection laws... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Thats what i said, Turkey in my eyes is definately not a western company... at least not in my eyes... There are almost no active laws in turkey protecting customers... What worried me most about your statement is the fact that you consider ALL countries outside of the US unreliable.... and that definately is not true Edited by Bachus (11/23/16 09:31 PM) _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Those credit card regulations are a very powerful weapon in the arsenal of US consumers, and I have used it in the past with a great deal of success.
