while we are on the subject of unprofessional:
do let's discuss dk then.
first send the man $2500 in good faith as a deposit for a new unit.
then shall we mention the unreturned phone calls.
then shall we mention the "it was shipped - you don't have it yet?"
then shall we mention the "oh, my shipping guy told me it went out,
but he was mistaken"
the man is either a flake or a liar depending on which day it is.
then shall we discuss the 4 months to return funds sent in good faith,
and the lies piled upon lies involved in THAT aspect of the transaction.
this is all well documented in a local friend's recent dealings with
him over the span of the last year - he oredered a unit - it was never
delivered - he was told it had shipped - notheng EVER shipped - refund
was requested - weeks of confusion and lies - finally a refund was sent.
the whole time dk claimed either mis-communication or ignorance.
sorry, but the man has a reputation for being fine to deal with for a
couple months, then disappearing and turning into a flake for a few months.
i had a very good experience with him many years ago when i needed
some assistance putting my unit into working order in the early 90s,
but the expereience of another friend over the past 12 months was a
very different one, full of deception, lies and blatant dishonesty.
truth be told, you have no way of knowing which dk you will be dealing
with on any given day, and life is too short to play games like that.
yes - dk kept the mellotron alive, and i did quite well by him a long
time ago, but many in recent times have had a difficult time with him.
can we have some testimony of some dk mkvi owners please?
this should serve to be an open forum, and bashing anyone is in bad
taste, but many of dk's actions of late are indefensible. this is my
own opinion based on my recent experiences. your mileage may vary.
threatening to ban the tronbros from the list reeks of fascism.
