Hi thanks very much for looking into this for me I appreciate it, but I just feel a little cheated, I agree that I am buying a three year old second hand marker its bound to have wear and tear which the seller did advertise but as 'a few scratches and dents', as I have written on several threads I dont think this is accurate at all, Cool3108 did also post a video fair enough, but it did not show the full extent of wear and tear. Not to mention him editing the thread to include the 'No refunds bit' made it look as though he new exactly what he was doing.
During a phone call with Cool3108 to try and solve the issue he did Admitt that the marker was in a worse condition than he advertised and said that he would offer me a full refund but couldn't because he had spent the money on an Ego. After a long discussion we agreed to a £30 refund ( I originally asked for a £60 refund as Cool3108 pointed out people who had seen the marker in the flesh had offered him £170 so I thought that was a good bench mark but he still pushed it down further saying he had no money). However I agreed to this because Cool3108 told me he had no money and his parents could not help him because of issues within his family which he went into in great detail, he fed me a sob story true or not he made me feel sorry for him to prevent me asking for a full refund and putting on pressure to get it (borrowing money or selling his other marker). And he assured me he had no other possible way to pay me back, he had nothing to sell of value, no job, no money nothing.
So fair enough I made an agreement I'm happy to stick to my word after all its my fault if I fall for a sob story but to then find out he's buying and selling on the forum and had plans to sell goods he was in possesion of the whole time as soon as he is back from his holiday just rubs salt in the wound. Added to this the whole problem with the trigger not getting here! The whole thing just seems to be one convienient problem after another.
Fair enough I'll stop banging my drum I did get a little bit wound up because, I was initally lied to to sell me the marker (as I said to Cool3108 I appreciate the photos and video but they did not show the full extent to which he agreed but what about the power of words to give a better description?) Then I was lied to to agree to a part refund instead of a full one which the seller agreed I was entitled to and now the trigger is missing! Not to mention Cool3108 ended up with a new marker he's buying new kit and he's soon to be selling two PMR's.
I will talk with the seller on his return.
