is it an age thing

i am getting old and my pound notes are getting smaller

 

Not entirely sure where this thread is going...

You don't want to take them back or do anything about it, but you're desperately disappointed because your £700 speakers were scratched and the 17 year old assistant didn't take it upon himself to override the salesman or sales manager and refuse to sell you them?

Am i missing the point?  If so, please.. help me understand. As linder quite rightly said, take them back for a refund!

Lee, is there a full moon over the UK this evening? 
It would appear soooooooooooo 😜

I echo what others have already said - if you're buying ANYTHING (not just B&O), make sure it's in the condition described before handing over your cash!

£750 for a pair of nearly new BeoLab 6000 and a brand new Serenata sounds like a fantastic deal to me - so if the speakers have a few small marks I'd just grin and bear it.

Fair enough - your dealer may have misdescribed them, and you may want to take the matter up with them first - but they were ex-demo, which doesn't always mean that they are untouched - these are the speakers which customers will have looked at, handled and listened to for a year or so before you bought them!

Maybe post some photos of the damage for us all to see, as I think some people are struggling to understand your angst with the persons involved - if it's that bad, let's see!

YES, show us some pictures! Remember paullumsden1, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is not true... Plus, all 17 year olds whether male or female, have to begin working at some point, just like ALL of us! Give him / her a break, or simply try and help. Do you remember when you were 17?
