I've stumbled into this topic, and here's what I see :
- A new member that seems to have registered to ASR in order to talk publicly about an eBay issue and about Topping's L30 replacement program, continuously lecturing Topping about how things should have been handled / could be handled according to him, and making inaccurate assumptions (e.g. production costs vs. shipping costs). Like @Tks wisely said, the OP is out of his depth here, because he's missing critical information that no manufacturer would ever disclose (know of any manufacturer publicly revealing its production costs ? )
- A Topping representative reacting to the OP's posts even though he didn't need to, and being extremely patient IMHO.
I won't discuss about eBay or Topping's replacement program (I personally think that Topping has handled the L30 thing just fine). I'm just surprised here : if the OP wanted to report something,
he should have contacted Topping directly (
https://www.tpdz.net/contact )
, or even reported it to eBay himself. But instead he chose to register specifically to ASR forums (last time I checked, ASR was not affiliated with Topping
) and start a soon-10-page flame war about an issue (reckless eBay sellers) that may be very real but that has nothing to do with ASR.
Makes me wonder why the OP did this. Call me paranoid, but when I'm facing such behaviour, I always think of hidden agendas. I'm not saying that it's the case here, but that's always my first thought. If only the OP would have been an active ASR member prior to this, I wouldn't have said anything... But why did the OP register to ASR just for this ? And did he report the same issue elsewhere ?
So with the same logic used by the OP, I will just say that by choosing that course of action, the OP was clearly irrational. Such course of action was clumsy to say the least. What could other ASR members possibly bring to such issues ? Nothing of course. So why are people even discussing this ?
(I'm not BTW - like I said, I won't discuss about eBay or Topping's replacement program).
Hopefully this will be my only post in this topic. Good day all !
