I'm sick of B&O manuals on ebay!

13 replies

Sorry...just had to rant for a second.  I'm so tired of looking for things on ebay and finding the listings completely cluttered with sellers just selling the manual for a B&O item.  Seems like recently on the US ebay at least today it is out of control!

 

KEYWORDS: olufsen -manual* 😁

You're sick of them?! I scanned all these and now see someone selling them without a by your leave! Why he lists the Beogram 3000 Acoustical is beyond me! Only ever come across one! And the writing on the outside of the manual is mine!

OK I figured that someone had ripped off Beoworld.org!  Sorry to hear that...impossible to go after I'm sure.


Thanks for the tip Jaff I will use it next time!

My personal favorite are the overpriced parts on eBay. $150 bucks for ONE Used BeoLab 6000 woofer... Brand new they are less than $60.

Quite disturbing, I agree.
Selling CDR or pdf copies of documents is not legal according to Ebay regulations.
I've reported some of the listings but nothing happens.
Maybe if we all joined forces and reported a lot of the listings.

I used report people selling .pdf manuals on a regular basis, but nothing at all is ever done.

It's daft, isn't it? Yet PayPal nail sellers all on trust from disgruntled buyers. Perhaps we should all buy a manual from this guy then all stick in PP complaints and have his account frozen! Anyone know who it is, BTW?

sounds like a plan to me :)
