Hi guys, I bought the following via BIN on eBay. It is not in my opinion in the condition described. I would rate it as vg+ to ex-. I certainly looks ex+ in the photo and as you can see was described as in perfect condition. Also he did not box it but shipped it in a padded envelop (These do tend to be somewhat delicate), despite the fact that for Priority Mail the PO will provide free boxes.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7521363779&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 Normally I would send it back demanding a 100% refund. However, I am under some constraints timewise and financialwise. I basically want to have it for the GFM Camera Clinic, but being poor, poor, poor I can only afford the holder this month and to order the film next month, so I can not even test the thing until then. The guy has 70+ positives and no negatives so I thought I could trust the description and thus used the BIN although I figured I could save quite a bit by bidding until I got one at my price. I guess what is bothering me most is this "not as described" thing happening more and more often. Sure I can probably negotiate with him and get my money back or a partial refund in return for giving him positive feedback, but I am feeling that is self-serving and does not help in the end as we see more and more of this. So I am asking for opinions about what I should do. How do you guys look at this kind of thing? -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
