I have shortlist for my next TT and it will probably come down to which turns up first on the used market. So if you have one of these for sale then let me know.

The seller on HF Wam Pani has a very long posting history on Audiogon. If it’s the same guy as on Agon, his kit is usually immaculate. I have corresponded with him several times about Platine Verdiers and TRON phono stages

Absolutely.

Would be good to know why is it being investigated? Prejudices against Indian seller?

The picture that was being used to sell the item, was a picture of another members kit. Obviously this caused confusion to the other member who stated that this was his turntable and that his turntable was not for sale.

There are rules to selling items on the forum and this was clearly not being followed and suspicion arose about how genuine this advert was. The seller was asked to clarify the matter. He has since done this and apologised for using another members picture to try and sell his turntable.

It is not a good idea to use pictures of some else’s item and to mislead people into thinking that the picture shown is your item for sale, when it is clearly not.

As for your second question, I’m not prejudice, just safe and canny from whom I buy from. :)

well people are not always aware of this rule. often (not here though, on local websites) i used stock photos cause i couldn't bother to photograph, unless there is a genuine buyer.

Not sure why you are trying to excuse what he did, he was also asked if the Phantom arm was for sale as well and he just said “no “ as a reply. He clearly couldn’t sell it as it didn’t belong to him and he didn’t have it. He could of said at that stage that he had used someone’s else’s photo of the turntable but he didn’t. He just carried on making people believe that the turntable pictured for sale was his.

As for the perjudice you raised, no one anywhere mentioned this except you, so you’ll have to answer that one by yourself and make your own conclusions on how you got there.

Anyway I’m done on the matter, I’m sure people here are intelligent enough to make up their own minds.

I do apologise to iansr, as concerns where raised in good faith and were proved to be correct even if from another forum. I also bump his thread up for his wanted ad, good luck with your search mate.

Hap. :)

FWIW, I made this;

I wasn't sold on the DC motor, and its a shot in the foot taking the arm off as it was built specifically for the Groovemaster, just showing an alternative POV.
