Here are some bits from the review...

""Visiting .. was one of the most unique and unfortunate experiences of my life. ... you hope you make it out alive. ... He appears to be older, disheveled, wearing a winter hat and a lot of clothes.. It had to be about 50 degrees inside... you would swear you accidentally were transported to a tiny closet inside an old worn down soviet warehouse. I asked if he had any turntables for sale, and the first thing he did was throw his arms up and loudly proclaim "if you think you're going to find some $500 turntable in here for only $50 that is NOT going to happen!" He then showed me a Realistic turntable that had to be about 40 years old. He wanted $150 for it. I asked him if he had anything else and he said he just had about 50 other tables and they all sold out. He then said something to the effect of "you think you can just come in here and buy something to turn around and sell it on ebay to make $10?, no way, pal, you're not going to do that here. There is no $500 table in here for $50." ... He clearly must have a mental problem. Anyway, the entire place was dimly lit, about 15' x 30' with tall industrial shelving full of ancient equipment- not even good equipment, simply bad old audio equipment, like emerson, sony, radio shack. He had one decent piece, an Acurus phono stage with no price on it. I asked him how much it was selling for and again, he went off about how I was trying to get away with something. ... I don't know, he's nuts. I have no problem dealing with a wide variety of people, especially with some people who have issues, but often they are at least somewhat polite in their own way... To top it off, he tried to demo the Realistic table, and of course, it didn't work.
What a crazy experience. Stay far far away.
