I have a bit of a problem with this item.

Your description:

This auction is for a perfect polaroid 545 land film holder. I used it for 
polaroid 4x5 shots, quickload and readyload packets and it worked great. 
Perfect 
condition, good luck bidding!

Check my feedback and bid with confidence, shipping to the US and Canada will 
be $6 for this item.

Honest description:

Polaroid 545 film holder. Shows normal wear from moderate use. Finish worn to 
bare metal when it slides under camera ground glass. Scratches on plastic 
roller housing above loading slot, could be crudely scratched initials (JP) or 
just random. Some crud on back and on rollers. Nice unit for its age. I would 
say (SB) EX- but will rate it VG+ just to be safe. I believe the BIN is a fair 
price.

I wrote this just to evaluate things in my own mind. Looking at it I guess 
your, "Check my feedback…", says it all. It should have been a red flag to 
me. 
Funny thing is I would still have bought it with an honest description just 
would not have been so enthusistic.

Do to time and budget constraints I will keep the holder, but I guess I want 
to ask what you yourself would consider fair feedback if the situation was 
reversed?

Actually, if it differs that much from the description, you could ask for a 
partial refund, some money back. Hopefully he may offer it.

Good luck!
