Re: I'm not a pro with the 41 Message #5 Posted by aurelio on 15 May 2012, 2:47 p.m., in response to message #4 by Frank Boehm (Germany)
Thank-you maybe could be easy to find and to fix this issue, but I would like not to open the calculator before to have defined the situation with the seller: actually I would like to send him back the calculator and, ofcourse no doubt, in the same conditions I've received it!
I'm pretty sure that the seller read and will follow this post, 'cause he is a member of our community. For this reason I would like to share the pictures which shows the defectes of the calculator he sold me and I've noticed immediately, when I received the calculator; the nosense is that he now even rejects those complaying "certifying" that the calculator is in in a perfect shape!!!
Give please a glance to theese pictures:
and tis is what I wrote him just after received the calculator noticing what the pictures show(16th april)
quote Aurelio: [Hello, I've received today the calculator!
As from the first glace seems that the four ports are OK, but the contacts are not "Contacts en très bon état.". the first on the left is a little corroded, on the third there are traces of green, while 2^ and 3^ are OK; why you did not mention that in the description of the calculator? You have not seen this issues before the sale? I would like to open it to check inside if the problem is extended or not to the rest of the caculator, but I don't do it because I don't know if the calculator is affected or not by a cracked posts issue. Did yuou check it? It seems, but maybe I'm wrong that the label on the bottom of the calculator has been reattached, isn't it?
let me know thanks.] quote
and then read his last words in the paypal litigation, form so your own opinion about:
quote seller[[Yes, please proceed:
1- ask for the community the reason why this calculator could drain batteries. I don't want to read ings like "i think so or I believe....." but facts and figures only.... And don't tell me that contacts were corroded!it is not true!
2- I certify again that this calculator was cosmetically nice and worked perfectly and could not certified what you did during this month with it (calculator opening, parts changed or removed)
3- if and only if for some reasons I could decide to accept any transactions, as I don't feel guilty, wewill proceed as follows
- I am waiting feedbacks from the HP community
- you will send me back this calculator at your charge and I will check by opening this calculator at your risks! If there are no crakles , problems with screws, contacts issues ,spares changed and so on.
I noticed you said you bought hp-41 "meanwhile" and it make me more and more nervous about the fact You could change spares. if i see any problems, I will not accept your return and will not reimburse you
- I will reimburse you only calculator and not my shipping costs . Again, i don't feel guilty and I don't
want to support any costs,
- i don't want that paypal support any charges because of you.....
I spent tens of thousands euros on ebay since the beginning
I can spend 2000 euros for an hp-41 turbo without problem with the ebayer!
It is not you and your 105 euros of litigation who will trouble my life .
But for principle, I will not let you so easily contest this transaction!]quote
Well, I hope that pictures at least will satisfy this guy and just to avoid any misunderstanding I notice here that the calculator I bought "meanwhile", is arrived from Germany only yesterday morning: it is really in a good shape, works great, as I can see, any pictures of it, just a courtesy to him and please believe. I'M THE ONE NERVOUSE, NOT YOU, CAUSE OF YOUR UNDEFINIBLE BEHAVIOUR!
Notice thaT another HP41C is on the way from the USA and i want say that this in my e-bayer experience I met throuble with vety few people, If I think that it should be easy and smooth' cause of the "eureopean contest", I'm pretty disppointed for this unbeliveable transaction!
Just to give another answer to the seller I'm glad that he can spend a lot of money without problems, for me this HP41CL project means a lot of sacrifice and even the 105 EUROS he wrote means for me no holidays this year, no pizza with friends, no coffe at bar, I have no Rolls royces..........I haven't even a car, but I'm proud to be know as a honest people and that's all!
Apologize for so along post.
Sincerly
aurelio
