Buyer Beware

[jtbadco]

I completely disagree with Reef Ocean. What a load of crap. It must be nice to be so rich that you can afford to buy new whenever you want, not all of us are so fortunate.

This person has legitimate concerns regarding equipment that she was sold where the seller completely misrepresented it's condition.

I think the fact that the seller has been active on the forum but has refused any contact from the buyer shows his intent.

I buy and sell tons of stuff on my local forum. If I sell anything and the buyer is not happy I give them a refund. Any decent person should be willing to stand behind their sales.

The seller has had 5 pages of this thread to chime in and defend his actions and hasn't.

I fully agree with threads like this. Anyone else who may try to buy from this seller should be aware of his rep.

Reefgirl, sorry to hear about your bad experience and thank you for sharing it. I think this will help everyone, sellers and buyers. As a buyer, don't be afraid to ask for more info and pics. For the sellers, be understanding and see it from the potential buyers eyes and be able to provide as much detail as possible, show recent pics and not to take it as a nuisance or a bother. As for this guy, I'm sure he will get his retribution as I always believe that "what goes around comes around".

The seller and the guy saying he buys stuff all brand new can go and....
Flawless condition my ass. Thats the crappy thing about buying stuff that needs to be shipped. Unless you can see it in person, who knows what your gonna get when it arrives. Of course the guy isnt going to msg you back, he just got $$$$ for selling a broken piece of equipment. If your selling something used, you should be honest of the condition, and put the price according to condition. Thats just the way you sell used stuff.
