44,
just like ebay feedback scores; a reputation's purpose is to instill confidence in the customer, should there be a problem, that it will be rectified.
i agree, that IF nomad has your amp, and IF he is receiving your correspondance, and just igoring you; that is very bad business practice.
a long standing reputation for honest and competent radio work should give him the benefit of the doubt when asking these IF questions.
do you have his phone #?
are you sure your emails are getting through?
a guy like nomad is too busy to be checking 500 bulk mail messages every day.
did you get a tracking # for the package you sent him?
have you confirmed with him that it even got there?
was it insured?
the reason im asking these questions is to give you some perspective.
if nomad has no idea that you are trying to reach him, then he has no idea how much he is inadvertantly pissing you off.
again, he's been around a long time, and is quite respected in the big circles.
he didnt get this reputation by stealing equipment.
and im pretty sure that amp is not worth enough for him to retire.LOL
i agree that you have a legitimate beef here, and i would want my stuff too.
BUT!
you sent the radio to nomad instead of someone else for a reason.
keep those reasons in mind.
i hope you get in touch with him.
if i find a business # for him, i'll post it here.
