Had no problem with them.

If we're on the subject - i'd also look at Iconic AV.  If i didn't own LifeStyle AV, i'd shop with Jason every time 🤒

I second that! Apart from Lifestyle AV I have only dealt with Jason and it was a pleasurable experience! 🤒

I trust other Beoworlders will view this as an infantile, spiteful and vindictive comment, confirming only that there is personal animosity between Lee Marriot and Ian Grace, and further confirming morethanAV as the principal competitor to his Company.

Why then Lee do you not allow Iconic-AV to advertise on your website Beoworld.org? 

Forget your apparant dedication and love of the brand, you run a business and all you are trying to do is disadvantage your principal competitor.   Remember the HSBC and your quote of £18000 for £75000 worth of brand new goods? 

Surprise surprise the Dealership valued them to the HSBC at £17000 - maybe Beoworlders should know a bit more about the underhand and sneaky way how you peddle your trade, you are no knight in shining armour believe me.

Absolutely spot on there.

Business is business and I hope Lee doesn't respond to your comment. It has nothing to do with us or Beoworld.

O K... anywho!

Yeah Iconic AV are Brilliant, i'd recommend them to anyone! Very friendly and helpful indeed

Well, i did think about not responding - but once again i feel the need to defend myself on here. Any silence could be construed as some strange kind of admission of guilt to certain people, so i feel compelled to answer anything like this. Sad that i have to do this, but here goes anyway..

For the record, i've had no contact with Ian for a long time.  Yes, we've had our differences, but i think all that was done and dusted a long time ago and we both operate in our own way.  We both put a huge amount of time and effort into our businesses, as Jason at Iconic does too, and we all have a good clientele.  I'm happy with that, and as far as i'm aware - so is he.  No issues there.

KingofSnake - I'd be delighted for you to air the full 'HSBC story' i'd completely forgotten about as i'd be very interested to read what you've been told!  That whole saga involved one email and a phone call for me and was (at a guess) about 2 years ago? For the record i'll explain.

1) HSBC call me to say they have a large consignment of items purchased fraudulently from a UK dealer. They email me a list and ask me email back my offer.

2) I read the email, and made my offer.

3) I receive a call from the London dealer who is (unbeknown to me until then) holding the goods, asking me to decline from bidding as there were complications and he may have pre-sold it all.

4) I agree to 'back out' as a favour to him as we have done business before.

5) HSBC call me to say they have had a better offer from another dealer, and would i increase my offer?

6) I decline, HSBC thank me for my time, i hear no more.

So - if that can be embellished with any untrue facts and make me look like a 'baddie' - i'm interested to read! 😮

I really don't think that BeoWorld is the place to 'do dirty laundry' either, but if i simply deleted KingofSnakes post i'd be accused of being underhand and/or unreasonable.  I'm damned if i do, and damned if i don't.

I'm also a month late on one of my 'buy to let' mortgages due to a bank error, i got a fine this morning for forgetting to pay a London 'congestion charge', and i admit to texting whilst driving in slow traffic.  I've also had two negative feedbacks on ebay in the last 3 months, one for forgetting to put a power lead in with a product, and the other for some Redline wall brackets being lost in the post. I did give a full refund though.

There.. i feel cleansed..

Never mind, it's the weekend soon...

It is a shame that this thread is being used to air grievances.

In very simple terms from a customer perspective morethanav, iconic-av and lifestyle-av are all good sellers, given that they sell B&O they wouldn't get away with anything else. I would happily deal with any of them.
