    Dead wax issue

    Sold an expensive garage 7" to an overseas buyer.. All fairly graded explaining some visual label damage... Guy was happy...

    Now a few weeks later he said he left it spinning and at some stage the needle jumped the run out/dead wax bit and has ruined his needle...!?

    I explained that I didn't know it did that as I dj and lift needle once song complete but he isn't happy and is seemingly after discount or money towards needle...

    Thoughts?

    The condition of playing surface etc was honest - I never leave records running on non automatic decks...

    Thanks

        That is madness! Surely wouldn't get anywhere in a PayPal dispute so ignore him

          possibly the most ludicrous claim I have ever heard.

            Tell him to do one.

              That's nuts.

              I have had this happen on a couple of records where I got preoccupied and left it spinning. I've since bought an automatic because I'm forgetful. I'd suggest in the kindest words possible that maybe he should too. A little empathy reduces Paypal disputes.

              But no money. Or discount.

                After I read your post I went to make a cup of tea and accidentally spilled some of it on my shoes. Its clearly your fault that I spilled my tea so I'm going to demand that you pay for my shoes to be cleaned. Seems fair to me

                  That's reasonable.
