For Sale Synergy Friedman DS 2-Channel All-Tube Preamp Module

[Durvelle7]

I've been using this module for about a year now, but I recently acquired another module for my project, so I won't be using it anymore. It may also not sell for the same amount I paid for it. Feel free to ask any questions!

Based on the detents on it, the condition is excellent. Performs flawlessly.
I'm asking $200 USD, which includes courier costs both domestically and internationally.

The modules are also brand-new, and they come with the original factory box.

The module still available for sale

This is my experience with this person (Durvelle7) below after contacting him to make the sale, take what what you will but he ghosted me after the last conversation. (I am green and he is red, in the text below) YMMV.

Hi,
I'd be interested in that preamp. Is your email your PayPal account?

Thank you for getting in touch. Below are my PayPal details for payment. Please let me know once the payment is sent, and be sure to select the “Family and Friends” option. Kindly attach the payment receipt for record-keeping.

Hi,
Nothing personal but I won't do friends & family because it offers me zero protection. However, I will add the 3% charge that PayPal would deduct for goods and services so that you clear the $200. That way you will get the full amount, and I will be protected if anything goes wrong. If you're OK with that I will complete the transaction.

“Due to the high shipping costs, I won’t be able to cover those expenses upfront. However, to ensure protection for both of us, I can accept payment on delivery with the following arrangement: you would pay 50% of the agreed price before shipping and the remaining 50% once the item arrives. This ensures the shipping cost is covered, and you can settle the balance before the courier leaves. This is the most preferred method. Let me know if this works for you.

Hi,
I don't really follow and this seems complicated to me. I will pay the up charge 3% for goods & services, so you will receive the full $200. Your not paying for it, I am. Friends & Family has been used by scammers and offers no recourse for money sent that way. I'm not sure how the shipping cost comes in to play, as it is the same no matter how the money is sent.

Hi,
Are still interested in selling this, you never replied to my email?

This happened over a one day period and after my last message I've contacted him several times over the last two days with no response.

Thanks for posting this. The price (especially with intl shipping) seemed too good to be true. Looks like you’ve flushed them out! Can this user be blocked?

I am shocked that is almost my exact interaction with him to the letter.

New addition to experience:

I recently returned after being away for a day or two and noticed a notification concerning my listing and transaction with you. Could you please clarify the situation? It seems there might be a misunderstanding about something that I took from you, and I’m not aware of what it could be.

I want to emphasize that I have the right to accept payment in the manner I choose, as the item belongs to me. I am free to sell it according to my preferences. If this arrangement does not meet your expectations, please note that I did not impose it on you. I was trying to communicate my terms clearly, but it seems that may not have been fully appreciated.

I want to make it clear that I can locate you and file a formal complaint if necessary.

Please take this seriously.

I feel like a lot of scammers are using AI to generate messages and replies now. Some are tricky-sneaky still, but many are just so bad and obviously fake now.
If a seller (of anything) won't accept PP G/S then move on and leave it alone.

I find it hilarious that this person then threatens me by merely posting the exact truth. That's how you know it is a scammer.

Really dude, are you going to find my house then come beat me up and complain about how I posted the truth? How dare I.
