YOU HAD ONLY 7 DAYS TO PAY FOR THIS ITEM. YOU PAID AFTER OVER 22 DAYS - UNACCEPTABLE >> Wow. Assholes have their own language, assholese. I never thought it was true until now.

If you scroll down his feedback far enough you start to hit mutually withdrawn feedback...which is a klaxon going off when I look at a seller's feedback. Also, this guy has a history of nasty responses to negative feedback. Instead of "Sorry you were dissatisfied - please contact us"  this guy snaps back at his customers. IF I give anything less than all five stars to a seller I give all one star ratings.  Thing is, in RPG purchases I seldom to never encounter a dishonest seller.  Everyone is usually really nice and quite reliable.   Electronics strikes me as a category destined to be dotted with scam artists...like that link to the Judge Judy case on the Acaeum a while back.  The thief had hidden the words "picture only" in her listing and felt justified in ripping off customers.

As for electronics on ebay, it's probably more of a crap shoot than some other items (let's face it, at least some of it is gray market, because a lot of electronics are small and valuable).  But there certainly are some good sellers out there.  The laptop I'm typing on right now arrived a couple weeks and it was brand new in the box, at a great price.  *shrug* deimos3428 Valuation Board Joined: 09 Jul 2004 Last Visit: 19 Mar 2010 Posts: 2951 Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2009 12:31 pm You were wise not to send this individual any money.  Hit him with negatives, and move on.
