In Reply to: brianna kelly @ he!!o - explain this one on AG. posted by clubmyke on April 25, 2006 at 20:22:51:
The person is Brian Kelley. At one point, he threatened to sue AA over the negative comments posted about him here.He was represented by a California lawyer who used to post here under the moniker "tenniswino" and, I believe at that time, he was physically located in SoCal.
It would be interesting to know the business relationship between Kelley and the owner(s) of the audiogon site. It looks like, if he keeps conducting himself as he has in the past, someone just might have the desire and the means to find that out.

If this is the same character I chased down to ask about some speakers and shipping, contact by any means other than email is a challenge. No zip code and was told that the lack of a zip code is to keep buyers from determining there own idea of reasonable shipping charges. Basically, waht he indicated was that buyers simply need to trust his shipping price and not believe what Fedex or UPS states on their websites. I had to look up the phone number area code to determine where he was located. I then called the speaker mfgr to ask about the speakers and was told that he was not an acknowledged dealer and there were some legal issues related to pulling his dealership. Also indicated was the investigation by the California State Attorney.
this she/he is a real interesting character. there is no contact information from 2000 going forward.. there is also alot of legal issues at the los angeles court system including domestic violence. the only thing that exist is the he!!o.it website (where is .it ? italy?).i dont get it..what gives with the teritze syndrome, lawyers, and abusive business practices ?
is the person who allows the behavior to blame or the actual person ?
Actually, its pretty common for companies in the mail-order biz to markup shipping charges from UPS or FedEx. Sometimes they tell you that, and sometimes they don't.In addition, UPS and FedEx give large volume shippers discounts off "retail" which the shipper may or may not pass on to the customer. I remember when I was shipping my Sony SACD player to San Diego for repair (and, under the terms of the warranty, shipping to Sony is the customer's expense). Sony had some deal worked out with UPS whereby if you went into a UPS store and gave them a code, you ended up paying less than the "rack rate" of the UPS store for shipping the unit. Since I was shipping cross-country, the difference was not insignificant.
