Having a problem deffinitly doesnt mean cartoys is at fault but at the same time theres some factors that make me suspicious of the company and therefore make it a bit more logical to blame them.
1 - I clearly saw the price at 600. The next day at 1000. They're explanation: 600$ ones are refurbished.
The 600$ priced unit i saw didn't say it was either new nor refurbished which is suspicious.
Also, if their explanation is true, its suspicious that they'd put their refurbished units to come up first.
On top of this , why would they tell us that the 600$ unit was refurbished.
The fact that they admit it would only make us more suspicious of the way they market.
2 - Another explanation was that you have to buy it the first time.
Again, a suspicious way to market if you want to make profit.
I haven't tried it, but if I change my IP and get the 600$ unit again, then that would just mean they aren't too trustworthy with the way they market.
Possible refurbished units sold as new + shady marketing techniques = possible reason why a unit from them would be disfunctional.
Still, the poster above is only one case so I can't blame cartoys from one customer.
There's other customers that have had a unit from cartoys working fine, true.
At the same time, a refurbished unit that works fine would still be unsatisfactory to me if it wasn't sold to me honestly.
After all, there are tons of other companies selling new ones in the range of 600 why be tricked with a refurb.
Again, Im not against or with cartoys, but i must say they weren't too impressive over the phone.
I wouldn't expect this walking into a bestbuy.
The bypass is a little tricky, as far as getting the mute wire into it's new location... it's hard to jam a tiny flimsy wire into a piece of plastic, but needle nose pliers did the trick.
