Got Screwed
This is information for you guys...especially staying in Singapore.
I bought this item http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160358540279&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Before buying I did ask the seller is there anything broken, scratched, joints loose and the he answered no and in good conditions. Joints are tight. Bought it on Sep 3. So I arrange for my nephew in singapore to collect from him. My nephew is not into collectibles and hence he just eyeball the item for scratches or broken pieces.
Last week my nephew came to KL and pass me the item. From outside the item looks good. Once I assembled it the knees were way damn loose. Remind me of sideshow. I then pull off the knees and noticed plenty white stains on both joints. Obviously the knees are loose and seller uses super glue trick to try to tighten the joints. Next the mandibles suppose to stay when you open it to give that snarling look but this just bounce back to close mandibles position. I then wrote back to him and his reply was :
hi.. i wont hide behind any curtains n say dat im not in the wrong.. i admit dat i didnt mention all dat.. sorry to spoil ur day...
- samster82
That's all he did and subsequent messages to him - no reply.
I gave him until end of today before I file a complaint to ebay.....
Just beware....

Re: Got Screwed
That sucks, why can't people just be honest... I still think I got screwed about 2 months ago, I sent an item to a dude in Singapore but he claimed he never got it. In the end, I refunded half his money ($250) and I'm still trying to push my claim thru Canada Post... it's frustrating. And disheartening, considering how expensive our hobby sometimes is.

Re: Got Screwed
That does suck, man. You have my condolonces. I got robbed like this once (long story short, somebody stole an RAH Roy Mustang out of my Grandma's door) but luckily BBTS was super cool about it and sent me a replacement. Hopefully you can get this straightened out.

Re: Got Screwed
Kaido - was that a shipping with tracking. If yes, there has to be proof that it reach the buyer. If buyer did not opt for insurance of delivery signoff, thats a buyers risk, right?
Drac - at least you got your replacement, that what's important....
Well, transact with a stranger always has its risk. I am prepared for this but never thought even a face to face meet the seller is so brave to conceal the defects. Seller has not reply and I have open a case with ebay. Interesting how this will go as its my first time.

Re: Got Screwed
well seller final say is that it is stated no refund in his sales. So I left it to ebay to handle. Hope he change and become a better seller.
