Magnus My beef is that if you advertise NEW it should be NEW. I caught him once before and ebay made him change the listing. This time he had two listings one new and one used. I checked with him and paid extra for NEW and got the most banged up unit ever. All from the same stack. Finally got him to agree to pay for return shipping he wanted it back and I can show you correspondence where he states he can sell it for $ 60+ and when I gave a negative review he refused to pay unless I give him a 5 star+. Extortion look forward what ebay will say. All I can say is stay away from ggg*fitting, not like some of the other ones. Others cooperate according to some list members, Bert Kehren In a message dated 2/26/2012 5:22:43 P.M.

Most of the dumpster diver level re-circulation folks has low knowledge, and some excel and actually has a clue, but if only the pictures is their own and show some reasonable level of degradation and then I judge if I think there is a fair price or not for what roughly is being provided. So far I have not been scammed very hard. Most of the stuff has been within the expected level, but all that comes from makeing a decision of what to expect and what price is fair for that expectation.
