  CATVision Digital Merchandising Notice

Attention: eBay Buyers

First, we want to thank all of our buyers who purchased Emerson, Electro Brand, Memorex, Teac, and Jensen Entertainment Centers and Record Players. We hope that you all get many years of quality entertainment from your purchases.

As it states in our logo, it is "Your World, Our Vision and Your Connection". Part of "Our Vision" is to continue to search for the highest quality and best buys in Consumer Electronics of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow".

We take being "Your Connection" very seriously. For that reason, Catvision Digital has established certain minimum requirements for a manufacturer or distributor, for us to continue to carry their product. Those requirements are as follows:

1. Minimum 1 Year Factory Warranty (parts and Labor) on their product.

2. Product Return Rate below the industry average of 8% (1st 30 days)

3. Manufacturer or Distributor to cover return shipping cost of a defective item (1st 30 days)

4. Non-excessive number of negative reviews by the consumer.

Excessive Consumer Negative reviews and Complaints

We are sorry that we have to discontinue these models from our merchandising line-up, but it is our reputation that is on the line. If a manufacturer cannot stand behind their product for at least 1 year, we do not consider their merchandise to be a good buy.

When a manufacturer or a retailer becomes more interested in selling an extended warranty than providing a decent warranty on their product to start with, it is time to look for another brand or another retailer.

Catvision Digital will continue to carry one of the largest line-ups of Nostalgic Entertainment Centers on eBay. We will continue to search for the highest quality and best buys in Consumer Electronics of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow". That is our pledge as "Your Connection".

The Crosley Radio Company does not sell on eBay, and they do not honor any warranty of their product sold on eBay, unless sold by a Crosley Authorized Dealer.

Most of the Crosley products listed on eBay are from non-authorized sellers, and therefore, do not have any Crosley warranty. The eBay listings, when listed by Crosley Authorized Dealers, will always state that they are authorized.

The Crosley Company, its distributors, and its dealer network keep a close watch.  If the auction listing does not specifically state that the seller is an Authorized Crosley Dealer, then they are not.  USB Turntables  really do need to come with a factory warranty.  Be careful and be safe.

 

We all know that records were scratchy in the swing era, and CDs hadn't been invented yet.  But there is still something about the sound from Vinyl, that the CD will never touch.

You can bring back that sound with this "Ole-Timey", "Suitcase" style Turntable, from the company of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow", Crosley.

Are your record albums sitting idly in a dark, dusty corner somewhere?   Can't bear to live without your vinyl albums, yet can't seem to find the time to fire up the record player these days?  The Crosley Keepsake USB Turntable may be the perfect solution.

 Listening to your vintage records will never be the same, once you transfer all of your vinyl records onto CD format using The Crosley Keepsake.  Recording a classic vinyl record onto CD has never been easier, with The Keepsake.

Simply connect this old style Crosley turntable to your computer, using the  included USB cable and  software to convert all of your old records to CD in minutes, with a few simple steps.  The Keepsake allows those old albums to be recorded in a digital audio format for high quality sound, on a smaller, more modern compact disc.  

Create Wave or AIFF files for burning to CD.   Import or export MP3, AU, Ogg Vorbis files. Remove  background noise, static, hiss, or hum; Change the pitch while not changing the tempo, or visa versa.  Adjust the volume - normalize, amplify, or compress.  Preserve your entire music collection.  With The Crosley Keepsake in your home, burning CDs will never be the same.

The included software is compatible with MS Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista, all POSIX (Linux/ BSD/Unix-like OSes), Linux, OS X 10.1 or later.* 

However, if you still want to enjoy your albums old style, Crosley's Keepsake offers a belt driven, 3-speed turntable, for your listening enjoyment.  The Keepsake includes modern conveniences, such as a diamond stylus needle and 3x5 dynamic full range stereo speakers.  Crosley even added an automatic return tone arm, and adjustable tone control, rarely found on Record Player Turntables. 

Now, dust off all those vinyls, 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM.  The Keepsake plays them all.  Put a smile on Grandma's face, bring back those memories, and show today's generation, that great style and great music, never get old. 

  
*Apple Mac OS Classic. Windows 95 and Windows NT are not supported. To create CD's, your  computer must have a CD burner.

Crosley Authorized Gold Seal Dealers Have Longer Warranties, Faster Shipping, Special Purchases, and Carry Replacement Needles

We do not sell Refurbished Crosley "Keepsake" Portable Record Players (neither does Crosley). It appears that a number of eBay sellers do, even though they might not call those models reburbished.

Many eBay sellers call refurbished models by other names ie: overstock models, open box models, surplus models, dealer display models, shelf models, factory tested recertified models, reconditioned models, second chance Crosley's, and unbelievably some of those sellers simply list them as NEW.

The problem with that, is that a refurb by any other name is still a refurb. It is really simple, a refurbished model is usually, nothing more than a customer returned item. An item that has been returned and repaired (maybe) at least once and very possibly repaired more than once. Many of those sellers claim that their Crosley "Keepsakes" have been checked out 100% and that they all work fine, but if that is the case then why don't those sellers, offer any warranty on units that they say are in perfect working order? Yes, a few eBay sellers do offer a 3 day or 7 day return policy, (we have seen as high as 14 days) but the buyer has to pay to send the entertainment center back, and there is generally a restocking fee to boot. The real question is, why was it a return in the first place?

These are Entertainment Centers that have been shipped from Crosley to a Dealer, then to a buyer, then back to the dealer, then to another dealer or a Refurbisher that bought the return, and then finally to the new buyer. It is no wonder that those models sell for as low as $29.00 on ebay.

Crosley Warranty on reconditioned, refurbished, open box models, surplus models and/or display models: Zip, nada, none, not any, zero. The warranty if any, would have to come from the seller, and if the seller does not offer a warranty in his eBay listing, then they are being sold strictly As-Is. For the record Crosley is a great company, in fact one of the best that we have ever dealt with. They will bend over backwards to help ANYONE that purchases a product with the Crosley name on it. They will answer all questions to all consumers about any Crosley Product not matter where the Crosley product was purchased. Fact one: Crosley is the best manufacturer of Nostalgic Entertainment Centers in the world today. Fact two: Crosley does not sell Factory Refurbished models and therefore does not have any warranty on reburbished, reconditioned, surplus, open box, or "b" goods models. Crosley will always refer you back to the seller that you purchased from, when it comes to warranty on those type of models.

Nothing takes the fun out of buying on ebay more than a buyer receiving a defective item or a cosmetic flawed item.

There is no warranty from Crosley on any refurbished Crosley "Keepsakes" sold on eBay, no matter what the auction listing states. The Warranty from Crosley on a Brand New "Keepsake" CR249 through an Authorized Crosley Dealer is for up to one year (Parts and Labor). We at CATVision Digital, the #1 Crosley Gold Seal Dealer on eBay have arranged for a 13 Month Warranty.

Most of these Record Players that are listed on eBay as surplus models or in many cases as new models have no warranty information listed. If the eBay auction listing does not state that there is a 1 year warranty on the Crosley "Keepsake" or if the listings states that there is a 30 day or a 90 day warranty, then the "Keepsake" you are buying is NOT new.

Overall the best advise that I can give the Crosley Buyer, is to stay completely away from all refurbs and open box models, especially in Portable Record Players that have USB capabilities, where there is a lot that can go wrong, it is just not worth the grief.

About Extended Warranties {Pro or Con}

Generally, Catvision Digital would fall into the con group in reference to Extended Warranties, especially when it comes to major household appliances. For the most part we feel that extended warranties are nothing more than large profit makers for most retailers. The exception to the rule would be on some Consumer Electronics.

Catvision Digital {shoeones} does not sell extended warranties, we do recommend that extended warranties on SOME consumer Electronics be purchased directly from SquareTrade, eBay's largest service provided.

We have received input from many of our buyers and we are very aware that one of the main reasons, that many of our buyers purchase from us, is because we have made extended warranties available on their purchases through SquareTrade.

The biggest concern from many eBay buyers seems to be a real fear that what they purchase on eBay either might not work properly, or might not last. Making extended warranty options available, addresses that fear.

The first thing to consider in deciding whether to purchase an extended warranty, on a consumer electronics item is, does the extended warranty cover damage caused by power surges? The limited warranties from most consumer electronics manufacturers do not cover power surge damage. It is estimated that over 70% of electronic failures or defects are caused by power surges, even when power surge strip protectors are used.

That is precisely why the manufacturers do not cover power surge damage under their warranties.

The second thing to consider, in deciding whether to purchase an extended warranty or not: Is the extended warranty transferable?   That is important if you are giving the item as a gift, or if you ever decide to resell the item at a later date. The manufacturer limited warranties are not transferable.

Another consideration: How Hi-tech is the consumer electronic item that will be covered by the extended warranty? Will it be more expensive to repair the item, than to purchase a new one? CD players/recorders and DVD player/recorders using lasers come to mind. A small invest in an extended warranty, might get you a brand new replacement for your item.

Last major consideration: Is the consumer electronic item you purchase a multi function item? Does it have more than one electronic component built in? TV/VCR/DVD combo units are one example of high risk items. Three-in-one or 4-in-1 stereo systems that may include a record player, CD player, cassette player, and a stereo radio is another example.

Shopping for an extended warranty, should be no different, than the shopping of the item that the extended warranty will cover. Go slow, weight the costs, and ask questions.

ALWAYS check a sellers feedback rating. Check both the feedback rating number AND the Positive feedback %. Both numbers are important. We are very proud of ours. We have received over 3000 positive feedbacks from our buyers.

Please follow ebay's suggested policy, and contact us, if there is a problem, BEFORE leaving neutral or negative feedback.

We love to leave our buyers Positive Feedback

All items are in stock at the time of their listing. But, pulling from my own local warehouse as well as other out-sourcing warehousers, things can happen. On the rare occasion the auction ends and the item is not in stock, the Auction will be refunded in FULL, or if available a step up model will be offered at the same cost.

13 Month Full Warranty

The Longest Warranty of Crosley Product on eBay

With our 30 Day Fast Track Exchange Warranty and our full 13 Months Parts and Labor warranty, we not only have The Longest Crosley Warranty on eBay, we also have The Best Crosley Warranty on eBay

Because of our Warranties and our Product Knowledge, our buyers, whom we love and adore, have made us the #1 Crosley Authorized Gold Seal Dealer on all of eBay. Crosley Authorized Gold Seal Dealers typically have longer warranties, Faster shipping and special purchases from Crosley that the Crosley regular dealer does not have. There are very few Crosley Gold Seal Dealers on eBay. We have the longest Crosley factory warranty of anyone including other Gold Seal Dealers.

The Crosley Radio Company does not sell on eBay and they do not honor any warranty of their product sold on eBay, unless sold by a Crosley Authorized Dealer.

Most of the Crosley product listed on eBay are from non-authorized sellers, and therefore do not have any Crosley warranty. The eBay listings, when listed by Crosley Authorized Dealers, will always state that they are authorized.

The Crosley Company, its distributors, and its dealer network keep a close watch. If the auction listings does not specifically state that the seller is an Authorized Crosley Dealer, then they are not.
