   I hate doing this, but I do feel that I need to make the community aware.   
      
   I just had a bad dealing on eBay with seller bbu97159656tcy, Bill Burger of   
   Yorba Linda, CA.   
      
   we agreed to a BIN price on a Rockola 2000X manual set.  His photos showed   
   the manual, schematics, price list, title cards.  I received everything but   
   the price list.  When I e-mailed him about it, he got VERY rude and   
   obnoxious.  He first said about "extras" he had sent me.  I still don't know   
   what he's talking about because all I received were what was pictured in the   
   auction.  I also asked him to specifically let me know what these "extras"   
   were, and he never answered.  His only solution is for me to return   
   everything for a refund.  Since I could really use the manuals, I refused.   
   He refuses to send me the parts list or offer a partial refund.  He is VERY   
   arrogant and rude to deal with.   
      
   I should've done my homework before buying because a Google search has   
   turned up quite a few other people who have had bad dealings with this guy.   
   On the flip side, I've also read quite a few who have had good dealings with   
   him.  It seems that when buying from this guy, the buyer will be doing a   
   crap shoot in getting what they paid for or getting something not in bad   
   shape.   
      
   So, just a heads up when dealing with this guy....  Pray he ships you what   
   you paid for or you will get his arrogrant attitude and VERY poor customer   
   service.  I will personally elect NEVER to deal with this guy again.  Yes, I   
   know I could've sent it back for a full refund, but since he was dishonest   
   from the get-go in not sending me what was pictured, how can I trust that I   
   would get any sort of a refund for HIS mistake?  I'm not going to fall for   
   that.
