Hi Guys

Well my "brand new in Box" only taken out of box for pictures,

arrived
with
a dent in the bottom left hand side near the switch. It was double
boxed
and
had bubble wrap around it. The boxes arrived in Perfect condition.

Not
crushed at all.

I wondered what the hell is going on here.
So I go back to the auction and take the picture he put up and
enlarged
it.
Sure enough you can see the dent in the picture if you look hard. I
can't
believe this ****.

Take a look at the auction yourself. Take the picture and enlarge

it.
That's
the only way to see it. Look at the bottom left hand side and you

can
see
it's dented it on the side. What would you guys do? It looks like it
might
have been dropped or something. Notice how he doesn't mention ONE

word
about
this dent. WTF is this world coming too?
Could the PSU be damaged inside?

Look along the left hand side and move down near the bottom. See it?

Odds are it's just cosmetic damage.

Power supplies aren't the sort of thing people normally buy for

beauty.

The seller should have mentioned it - so you might ask for a price
adjustment,
or to return it for a refund. But life is too short to get worked up
over
a
$5-10 problem.

The fact the damage can be seen in the picture if you look closely
doesn't
help
your case. He could reply that you should have looked closer before
bidding.

Obviously if it's dead, he owes you a refund.

It's not dead, but I don't know to what extent the inside damage is

done.
Like one poster said, how can he be trusted?
He basically lied. He should give me a $25 refund to make things right.

I
think I should contact Ebay and leave negative feedback.

Lucky


I doubt there is any damage to the circuit though you could rotate it in

a
few
directions to see if you hear any rattling. If you don't hear anything
and it
works, odds are quite good the damage is just cosmetic.

If the damage is worth $25 to you, it probably makes sense to return it
for a
refund. It's more than half of what you paid for the supply.

I would only leave negative feedback if you are unable to reach an
acceptable
solution. If you leave a neg, don't expect anything from the guy. He

may
retaliate and leave you a neg too.


Mark,

An used one went for $20 and I saw another one go for $21. And it's not

just
the dent. I find his story hard to accept. If it's from a factory new box,
why should it be dented in the first place? It shouldn't.

Now if you follow his story, his "helper" took it out of the "new factory
sealed box"and didn't notice a thing. You'd have to blind not to see this.
It's not a little dent. The side of the PSU is dented all the way in. So

his
helper didn't notice it and tell him about it? Come on? If that's true he
should fire his helper cause he's not helping him. And he wants ME to

spend
my own money to ship it back to him? So I have to be out more money for a
damaged item he stated was factory new in box?

No I'm completely right. If he doesn't make good on a partial refund or
replace the item at NO COST to me, I'll put in complaint with Ebay and
Paypal about him,and I'll leave neg feedback like people have told me to

do.
They say he deserves it. That I shouldn't let him get off easy.

I'm fully in my rights here and will not be taken advantage of. Simple as
that. He stated "New in factory sealed box" but he sent me a damaged

supply.
I wonder if Ebay and Paypal will buy his "helper" excuse.

Then in the future if he has another dispute with someone, they will see

he
had an incident once before. I will not spend one cent of my money to ship
it back. I don't trust this guy. How could anyone here trust him? Let's

see
if he makes good as an Ebay seller.

And I thought Twilight Zone wasn't making any new episodes.

I wrote the seller another e-mail. The ball is now in his court to settle
this friendly without any other needed problems for both of us. I did my
part. Just remember if it was you who bought a "brand new in factory box"
and was excited about receiving it, only to open the box and find it
damaged. How would you feel??? I could have bought many PSU's for $11, $15
and $20. NONE of this is my fault. All I did was win an auction I thought
was one thing but got another.

Like I said, this world is falling apart. There are no morals or feeling
left.

Good Grief!!! Whine about this just like you whinned about losing that
other auction because the seller sold it to the highest bidder, a jap
guy, instead of you. Is there anything you don't whine about? If things
are so hard on you bidding on ebay why don't you find another avenue to
buy stuff from? Guess you would whine about that as well.
I bet if you were starving in the desert and someone offered you a glass
of water you would bitch if it wasn't in the kind of glass you preferred.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune, Lucky. I hope that the unit works
okay. Indeed, as Namikis observed, such occurances as this are "part
of life on eBay."
In the meantime, to vent your anger, try giving that Everlife
flashlight a good shake, okay?
By the way, did all 100 of the pipe screens arrive in acceptable
condition?



Why on earth would he want 100 pipe screens? ;-)



Gives him something else to whine about.

He is whinning and crying about nothing don't you think? I've
certainly added him to my blocked bidders list. I would suggest that
everyone else here do the same. I guess it does make for good
entertainment though.

Good idea, good lord I sure would hate to sell him something and then
have to listen to his bitching about it.

Oh not for 'Lucky', you see he is one of the habitual whiners that will
complain about the most minor of problems. Hope he isn't married, I
would pity the woman that had to put up with him.

Yet you have trouble seeing it in the picture?

and I really trusted this guy too. He turned something easy and nice

into an

and let me post it here for all to know. This world is turning into crap.

It is you who has turned to crap, the rest of the world is just fine.

But plenty of whinning, bitching, and crying and you got the market
cornered on that.
