I have been looking for a BAT VK-5i. I found a person that owns one on the other side of the country. It is not listed on Ebay or audiogon, just found it through a google search. I called the guy and spoke with him several times. We came to an agreement on the price, fair for preamp, not any "too good to be true" type of thing. The guy is seems really nice, sold off most of his setup a year ago has been holding on to this trying to decide if he wanted to sell it.
Here is the issue, he doesnt do paypal, wants me to send a check and he will ship the preamp when it clears. Fair enough but I am worried about sending a check, being out the money and never seeing the amp or hearing from him again. After speaking to him many times it seems very unlikely that those are at all his intentions, but you never know. Any ideas?
