would like to hear from any of his other victimsThe first of several seperate Small Claims disputes is scheduled for tomorrow in SoCal
This guys MO is to offer a Rare audio item on Ebay with a tempting Buy It Now; then offer the buyer a second item for even more reasonable money, deliver the 1st item then never the second
He comes across as autoritative, persuasive and credible and has taken several Buyers for a ride; with enough of his victims on board a Class action or a criminal action may be possible if an intent to commit fraud can be proven

I purchased a Spectral premap and power amp from Don Pettee on Audiogon that were delivered quickly. Then Don mentioned he has another DMA-50 for sale but wanted to be paid by MO instead of Paypal. With the established trust through the first transaction I sent out the check on 5/1/2011 then the agony started. There were promises after promises that the amp will be mailed the coming weekend but never happen. Refund was offered and accepted but the refund never came. Then he would not even respond to emails. It was only after I threaten to contact his employer, Lockheed Martin, and offer to have FedEx pick up the amp at my cost, then Don finally left the amp at a postal shop for the FedEx to pick up after 2 months.
I left a negative feedback for Don Pettee (Yikes2010) on Audiogon and his rebuttal was that it was not done through Audiogon and feedback should not be allowed. There goes his thinking: do a honest deal on Ebay or Audiogon then con on the follow up, betting that the victim can not leave any negative feedback on those sites.
This guy is real flake. His nickname is Cookie Monster because he is a toad who devours audio gear and leaves it outside in the rain to rust. His house is a pigpen.
Tin Fish, sounds like you know where he lives. True?
Not any more. He moved several years ago. No one knows where he lives now he keeps it secret.
Hi Graham: I am another of The Don's many victims. I am glad to hear that Don will have his Day In Court. I communicated many times with you about how Don used the same MO to defruad me; namely, he offered on E-Bay a desirable 1950 original Stancor Williamsom 807 tube amp with Buy It Now for $300 and then a Second mono amp for $250. Please email me his address and I will have a local Marshall serve him with my Small Claims Court action. E-Bay has never suspended him in spite of our numerous fraud complaints. This scum needs to be exposed to 145db(level of pain) for 72 hours straight with the speaker leads connected to his family jewels to understand how his victims feel.
as one of his victims has recently ( and successfully ) doneDons employers are also VERY interested in his use of Lockheed Martins email + phone numbers to perpetuate these various frauds
Use of a phone line in the commission of a crime is a Federal offense; I don't think fraud will be difficult to prove if enough of us go after him in a co-ordinated manner
We've got mad; now let's get even
