The Electronic Goldmine
Electronic Goldmine ships defective / damaged merchandise with no buyer recourse

Very shady business practices. Not only do they sit on orders forever despite their false advertising to the contrary. But when (not if) they ship you defective merchandise the response from them is "hey, it's all surplus stuff. You get what you get." Nice.

I had the misfortune of having the owner pick up the phone once when I called to inquire on quantity availability of an item. He essentially barked at me for expecting them to have quantity stock of the item (even though it was advertised on their website
in quantity) and went on about how they "buy up the remains of companies going down", and quickly ended the call. Nice.

Their shipping "policy" is equally suspect. You pay a surcharge over the UPS rate and they don't even pack the purchased items competently. That winds up as shipping damage and you get to pick up the phone for another cycle of abuse.

I'd avoid these jokers if at all possible.
