[Harp-L] Black CR

["laurence garman" <l.garman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have seen a number of posts praising Chuck Gurney's service.The most 
recent states that he 'takes the guesswork' out of buying elements on eBay.
Really?

My experience with this gentleman is that I purchesed a C.M harp mic element 
from him on eBay.When it arrived it was low impedance and so could not be 
used.I had checked the serial number-on the excellent Green Bullet site 
where it was listed-wrongly- as hi-z.
I sent a polite message expressing my surprise and rec'd the following 
reply.

    " Hi Laurence, I am sorry you are not happy with the element. I did not 
describe it anywhere in my auction as a hi-z element. I showed a picture of 
the model number so everyone could see exactly what it was. I also put a 
much lower price than my usual price on it because it is not one of my Black 
label hi-z elements that I usually sell. I also have written in 2 places 
that if you have any questions about harp related items such as elements, to 
please e-mail me with any questions. Again Laurence, I am sorry you are 
unhappy, but I did list it honestly, correctly, and included pictures in the 
auction as well.
Thank you,
Chuck "

After further correspondence,in which I was obliged to become rather 
assertive Mr Gurney did offer a compromise but we failed to agree terms and 
I obtained a full refund under the PayPal dispute resolution system.
Others are apparently delighted with Mr.Gurney's service and I cast no 
aspersions and make no comment,
