Hi Dave,
You're not condoning Dave's blatant lies in public to discredit Mike and damage his good reputation, and thus his disgraceful behaviour in that respect, though I hope? This is rather serious, you know, and could become part of a libel case.Quote:
The thing is that in these days of austerity and more cuts to come, trying to make a substantial markup in the specialised audio industry is infuriating to many, myself included. NZ$400 was around £200 wasn't it, so I suspect that doubling the selling price and adding VAT may have been considered ok, assuming the MN bearing was to have been around £500 from memory.
The Top End of uadio distribution/importation etc has been full of this for decades, but summat's got to give here...

Not at all. A huge shame that this story should have occured though.
Indeed, but it just shows the integrity of the man, or rather the complete lack of any.
Marco.
Greetings,
I have just posted in the welcome area in accordance with the forum rules.
My post starting this thread is not a troll. I just felt there is an unsavory attempt to discredit Mike New which I believe is not only unjustified but deplorable. I have purchased three Mike New bearing upgrades, all perfect.
I read elsewhere that someone reported a bearing leaked oil and degraded sonics within a short time (3-4 weeks) after installation. Nonsense! Even if the oil were to totally leak from the bearing over time, the oil is viscous and would still lubricate the bearing pressure pad for many more months. I think the oil leaking claim is a fabrication.
I sent a message to Dave, via his ebay auction and as expected, received a non answer. He has an agenda to advance his own cause but the tactics being used simply cast a dark cloud over his business acumen and character. My opinion, ymmv.
Hi Marco,
I just checked from here in the US and it appears the auction is still "live"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Yes, it looks like it got removed from Ebay.co.uk :scratch: As you say though it's still running on Ebay.com :eyebrows:
I really hope the bearing hasn't suffered an unfortunate accident which results in it being faulty. It's not brand new in an unopened box so whoever buys it can't be sure its provenance. Given that people are trying to "prove" points here (and it's a very unpleasant situation) I wouldn't rule anything out.
Surely, all the winner has to do is to send it to Mike New for checking? May involve shipping costs and some time in transit, but there would be re-assurance that the bearing is actually fine.
I think we all know that the vendor is hoping someone will buy it and say it's knackered. If that is the case we can't know for sure why it's knackered. Whether or not the buyer ends up with a working bearing is just a side issue here in this stupid game.Quote:
