I sent you the wrong item (to the aid of falx) instead of (the egg of the phoenix) by mistake! Please return it and as soon as I get it Ill send the correct one to you and refund your shipping cost. Sorry for the mix up. They both have similar color covers.

I have to tell you I'm very disappointed in this. What is my protection should the module disappear mailing it back to you (I.E., post office loses or damages it)? I'm going to have to ask you for a refund before I mail it back so as to guard against this possibility. I will give you back the money once the correct module is in my hands. I'll also ask you to include my shipping cost when you mail the module back. The refund is very easy to do from the paypal page, I've had to do it before when messing up an order.
The worst aspect of this is that I hadn't even unwrapped it since it was being mailed to a friend in Italy. It is only dumb luck it was not already on it's way overseas.
I do understand problems like this happen because as a seller I've had it occur; however NOT with a $250 item!!!
I have to say as things are now you are looking at a neg and "1's" across the board on DSRs. I hope you can fix this mixup and turn it around. Feel free to contact me via email...

US bidders only. I require payment via Verified Paypal ONLY and will only ship after payment is confirmed. Due to the rarity of this item I highly recommend insurance as I will not be responsible for lost or damaged packages. Check out my feedback and bid with confidence! Good luck and thanks for checking out my listing. I have a number of other rare RPGA modules listed as well so don't pass up this opportunity to own a piece of gaming history.

Buyer beware is long obsolete, has it's origins in real estate and should be left at the flea markets and garage sales where it only survives because the value of the transactions do not justify holding people accountable for their word/truth.  Buyer beware holds no water in a documented transaction, a regulated transaction, or on ebay where a buyer beware position would destroy consumer confidence in the site.  Even where the seller to have used the term in the listing, which she did not there is always "exception ... if the seller actively concealed latent defects."

My responsibility is to hit the button and pay.
The seller is responsible for describing properly, shipping properly, charging appropriate shipping/handling and for providing courteous service.  She actively lifted photos, and intentionally or unintentionally concealed both the nature of the product and latent defects.

You are very confused about what is wrong with the world.  In a world of  moral relativism, people dodge responsibility for their actions. The chain of effect her does not start with my leaving feedback, or even my hitting the button.  The actions started when she began lifting photos and continued as she described the material.  Her actions were made actionable when she listed the item for sale, sold it and delivered a different product.  From that point on, everything I did is responsive to a seller who has misrepresented merchandise and it is my right to hold her accountable for her acts.  And, since she committed the acts.... guess what fellas.... within certain parameters it is the BUYERS RIGHT to hold someone accountable in what ever way is negotiated with the seller.  Her actions as a seller were reprehensible and she has been held accountable.  

And, no, I don't email people to ask if they are honest after I buy something from them.... I presume it until they demonstrate otherwise.  That is my right, and it is the way the world should be.  I do not have an obligation to help her figure out how to run a business.  I am collecting... not running a free counseling service for idiot sellers.

Some of you need to take your armchair lawyering to the flea markets where some of the people reading your posts do not know better.

Buyer beware.... lol.  I never understood why attorneys had so much work until I joined this website and found a bunch of extremely bright people so misinformed about basic commercial code law and ethics.  No wonder the courts are clotted up.

When you've confirmed you've received it, he should also cover the cost of you returning the incorrect one, as it was his error, and take the hit.  Good luck.

Mike, you could have just simply said... "Please send me the correct item with a return shipping label included in the parcel so that I may return the wrong item upon it's arrival."

Make the point without saying anything more than needed.

If the seller does not comply I would start the refund process.

What's funny about this R.E.H. avatar is that R.E.H. himself was not like this picture at all.

He was an overgrown boy in grubby clothes with great writing talent...much more like a cliche' gamer guy (one of us, in other words) than anyone like the grim fellow posing in the Al Capone hat.

I've often thought that R.E.H. would have been a much happier man if he'd had role-playing games and the relationships that go with them.  He might not have succumbed to his inner darkness.

Then again, perhaps he might never have written much either.  

I once used Dallas Egbert as my avatar, just as a prank.  It freaked people out.  Ironically, R.E.H. and Dallas Egbert had more in common than we might like to think.
