Re: However, "sellers" practice WAS to offer partial refunds Message #7 Posted by Matthias on 16 Jan 2004, 1:16 p.m., in response to message #6 by Mike
Itīs time to finish this scene for me:
1) I think, the seller doe not have another buyer. Neither the seller told me itīs name, nore the new buyer contacted me (as I desired).
2) There is another question concerning the new buyer: Why didinīt he bid on the item in the auction? This is the base on my thoughts that there is no new buyer.
3) Thanks a lot to all of you, expecially Mike. Let us keep this name in mind (as the seller does with mine)....
4) I will keep the whole item, will restore the calculator and sell it "AS A REPAIRED ITEM WITH PHOTOS OF THE BEFORE AND AFTER", as it should be. To the new buyer: You can still buy the calculator :)
5) I still think, I have a good chance to the seller with my fixing possibilities, but he never accepted them on time. So, bad luck for him.
6) By the way: Concerning the first auction I had with this seller: I demanded a refund on the HP-41 blanknut, cause the battery compartiments were corroded as well... As you can see, the seller does (only) sell rare items, so his words "I bought them on a garage store" are NOT true. You will never find these two rare items within 4 weeks in a garage store.
7) To Namir: I also think as you, this forum is mainly for technical questions, informations, ... but there is also a demand on overview of sellers and buyers: People want to know, which seller they can trust. What do you concern me? Giving a negative feedback? Then I alos would earn one. My feedbacks are all positive, the SELLER DOES HAVE 3 NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS, so this is his advantage.
Yours
Matthias
