Scratch & Dent LFM-1 @ eBay?? - 06/25/05 02:27 PM
How do liquidators end up getting scratch & dent LFM-1s? This place has three listings, all with "Corners chipped and case broken" descriptions. Are these guys obtaining the units from Outlaw or are they siphoned off at the manufacturing facility instead of being destroyed, or what? It makes me sad... 
Cracked LFM-1 on eBay
NEW INFO:
After a message from Outlaw, I am happy to report that the ebay liquidators are NOT obtaining their product from Outlaw or their manufacturing facility.
Other than not honoring warranties, there is nothing Outlaw can do to control reselling of their product outside their channel.
I still think the ebay liquidators are a blight on ebay - and the tons of damaged goods they sell is more like throwing dice than shopping. It's really a shame, because the used audio gear I have bought from individuals on ebay has all been excellent items at great prices. The liquidators are putting ebay as a source of quality used gear in jeopardy.
I guess I just need more B-stock LFM-1s!!
