What's up with Boadcast Warehouse?

I spent over $300.00 for a FM broadcast band Amplifier. After spending another $100.00 for a power supply, the BW amp still doesn't work. Contacted broadcastwarehouse.com but they don't return my emails. So I've decided to sell it for scraps on ebay item # 5840264520. Has anyone else had experience with them?

Weren't they shut down by the FCC for selling that illegal crap? By E-mailing them, you contacted the FCC who is tracking down their customers.

Considering they're in the UK I'd like to know how the FCC could do that !

The OP doesn't say where he is. In the UK non-functioning goods must be refunded under the Sale of Goods Act. Contact your local local trading standards dept if they don't play.

He is in San Antonio, Texas according to his Ebay listing. There was a company operating in the US under the name Broadcast Warehouse that was shut down for selling equipment to pirate radio stations. The equipment was not FCC approved, and the stations had no license. Illegal equipment can't really have a warranty, can it?

About 15 years ago the FCC raided a place that was selling modified VideoChiper II descramblers. They were busy going though the company's records when a woman stormed into the building with a modified unit, demanding that her "Free for life" service be restored. She was even madder after it was confiscated for evidence for the trail, then destroyed.
