I guess he is using TE like a newspaper just advertise here and ask members to register in his forum to avoid ratings :@

What happens in the case where he is known in several forums besides this one ?

He can check all those diff forums or he could check just the one. Mind you this also has the side-effect of avoiding ratings. Then again its up to those who buy of him to mention what kind of service they got in the forum where they conducted the deal.

I can see the pov of being told one thing and then experiencing another. I'm of the opinion that ppl never like to say no. It's always a yes and then you get the runaround :(

I hope there are better dealers out there on this point.

I don't know about many forums but as far as TE is concerned, the user base is here is something that Mr Amarbir needs more than the TE needs him. (In real world no one buys RE0, or a head direct or yuans or tube amps. It's the enthusiasts who carve for them. Ok, he may move a thousand Pentiums everyday but high-margin products that he loves to import from china and sell here have little demand in Chandigarh)

And I also know that he was booted out from "the other forum" for exactly same kind of stuff that TE is tolerating for far too long here.

The funny thing is that when my deal went bad with Amarbir, I realized that he is misusing name of TE and also that TE was not proactively defending its name. I opened a thread highlighting that Amarbir is simply opening dealer threads here and then conducting business according to the T&C of his own website.

This, IMHO, was a breach of trust as most people decide to do business with him not because he runs some Lynx India store and has a fantastic trade policy, where all words start with a capital letter, but because TE trusts him enough to give him tag of registered dealer.

I cannot find that thread now but a mod replied that as a registered dealer Amarbir was well-within his right to do so. The matter closed then. Of course, or so we thought...

after goin through this..... yes, u are absolutely right. just have a look at others great dealers here, who never advertises anythin other than the product and its manufacturer's website. :cool2:

lemme check my bills of earlier purchases for product serial.

I remember a forum member mentioning here, that Amarbir at times give hand written invoices which have the equipment: name/quantity/price/model. BUT not part number/ serial number. This thread got me thinking. So I pulled out my two invoices, from Lynx-India. Voila..!. The first one for like 50K has no serial/part numbers. The second one for some ~15K has a part number. What the heck...! YES, this is my mistake, I should have verified it upon receiving the equipment. Could you guys, pull out your receipts and check. By the way, not having part numbers and trying to re-sell the equipment will be really difficult..right..?

So what do you have? A challan or a bill? AFAIK, a bill should have a valid VAT number, bill number, product name and its serial code alongwith the price and the signature of the person you dealt with.How will the warranty of any product be honoured by the distri/manufacturer if the serial code is not mentioned. That might explain why some people who bought stuff from lynx (AFAIK, most have bought by dealing outside/inside TE have problems with replacement.

Well it has a VAT#, TIN#,bill number, product name, model, quantity, price. The itemization is like this:

Corsair TX650 1 6400/---
S/N -----------------

It is missing...!

I guess it is a bill, but the critical serial number is missing. How daft..!
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

^^ But you bought it through the thread put up by amarbir in TE or did you deal with him directly? Dealing through other forum is their admin's/mod's business and dealing directly is between customers and lynx. If this is happening through a deal made via TE and most of the bills don't have a serial code, well, blame is on you guys and not TE or the dealer for not bringing this issue up earlier. But sadly TE is getting used.

I am suprised people (TE of all places) are checking their bill after dealing with him. Well, atleast better late than never.
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

^^

My original post had this..

Guys....want to mention something. This is about stuff I got from Amarbir external to TE.
Click to expand...

So I obviously got it via a private deal from the Lynx-India website. I mentioned the 'no serial #' issue, so other members can verify their bills and be alert and vigilant, when dealing with this dealer here on TE. A warning you could say..! Was for sure not whining/complaining. Of course it is my fault (too), that I did not verify the bill upon delivery.
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

Its time this guy gets kicked out from TechEnclave, how much will be too much?

Time and again this guy has crossed the line, all would be well if members would hav had a happy experience, but the feedbacks here say a different story..

Its time TE reconsiders his status as a dealer, we are on crossroads, we certainly dont need dealers like him..

I really dont know why the admins are even tolerating this proxy advertising..come on guys, where is the self respect..?

Its not once or twice or thrice..it jus keeps happening again and again..

This is the precise reason i want mods to invoke the dealer status.I guess he is not even bothered to post his long long story this time in this thread.

I am sure he is gonna reply saying i am least interested in TE market as i have better people to buy my stuff .I wonder who is gonna buy UE/Head-Direct amps or IEM's other than people from forums :rofl:
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

@OP..

Its really agonizing to pay the money and hear someones ranting. He works like that..

I remember when i opened a thread...5 folks PMed abt his ordeal with them.. but they said not to post their name saying they cant buy stuff which are not available elsewhere or hard to get or low priced..even if they have to wait..

why do we have to register in that site .. always bothered me.

Honestly i believe that now most know we have to register through is forum, he can be whatever like here, dotn think he cares the feedback he gets here coz in the end people who needs stuff will get it from him. if someone wants something they will register in his site and everything.

but atleast you got your stuff mate.. thanks for that.

@Metal..

did u mean revoke ???... Invoke is not the word u looking for i think

Registered Dealer = Its already invoked isn't it? :P
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

Just for the sake of clarity, with reference to post#890. The missing serial numbers was for standard computer parts, was NOT for equipment which have null warranty/RMA. It was missing for:

1. GPU. HD4890
2. CPU. E7400
3. Cabinet. CM690
4. PSU. TX650
5. RAM. Corsair XMS2 CL5 4 GB kit
6. Motherboard. MSI P45 Platinum

Advice others to verify their invoice contents. Thanks.

Absolutely agree with you.This is happening now too often.Once-twice can be mistake but this happening repeatedly with so many members here is not good.Staff must do something about this.Else he (amarbir) will come up with another reason :-|

PS : the way he chatted was rude :no: so blocked him on my msn few days ago and decided not to deal.
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

when amarbir started business on TE everyone was excited to see more competition. even one of the older TE dealers commented on Amarbir's deal style on other forum. No one took notice of objection by a more reputed dealer.

i also went through a similar experience faced by other harrowed members. and it was just for a 4GB corsair pen drive which is available locally. After payment pen drive was suddenly out of stock. I called up amarbir the first time and he was quite pleasant as he was more interested to know about my business. After some days delay i called him again and he asks me rudely to put down the phone obviously he meant to hang up. He told me that he will call me back which of course he never did. The pen drive did come late but it was nice learning experience and i never dealt with him again after that. end of story.

This is absolutley ridiculous !!

Was this deal concluded on TE or elsewhere ?
 
Re: agonizing and nerve racking experience with lynx-india

funniest part is in his forum also people are upset and asking him to refund money :P ,
and most of the people who have bad experiences are the new members , who do not know how he is , and just give positive ratings because they have rcved the products...
i do hope this ends somehow

It was amarbir who introduced lynx on TE. At the time no payment portal or forums existed on lynx website. so yes TE facilitated the deal.

benefit of doubt should always be given to a new dealer. time & space for improvement. that's why i never brought up my personal experience before.

in this case however dealings seems to be becoming uglier by the second.

Just visited lynx -> notice now on website "Not All Products That Are In The Website Are Ex Stock Available"

i've dealt with KMD & itwares & pheonix many times but never had any untoward incidence... even spoken to phoenix & itwares on many occassions.
