Has anyone have any experience with them?

I was thinking of buying an amp from them.

    It's an online classified just like Audiogon, so buyer beware.

    I've had a couple of transactions there without a hitch.

    I've had a couple dealings with CAM on smaller items, always received just as described. The Canadian customs held one for a month and rifed all through the packaging, but put everything back nicely to their credit :smile:. next one is was US customs that held things up, they weren't so nice, the box was beat to crap, the deck was fine though :smile:

    Another great thing about CAM is the high quality pics sellers post, a nice bonus!

    As for the site, I am an active participant and have bought and sold a few things without an issue.
    I can't tell you about shipping from Canada to U.S though.
    I believe the only issue is it will slow down the shipping time for sure.
    Like everyone says...buyer beware.

    I like them better that way. Give them personality and they are on the fury all time. :biggrin::tongue:

    My one and only experience buying there was positive. I met a nice fellow, who sold me a vintage Marantz receiver.
