Lessons Learned and Old Fears Substantiated

Well the fellow Dgrinner that I bought the 70-200 VR from refuses any type of return and seems to want me to actually sue him.......even though he will have to travel from Rockfod Il to Kansas for a court date.............I do not understand the way some peoples minds work......they sell you something that is supposed to be like new never been banged or anything and when you discover the damage that was hidden by a screw on filter they started accusing you of harassing them and all of a sudden the agreement about fixing any thing wrong with the item sold is out...."I am not going to do anything for you..............!!!"......" stop emailing me"!! As if the agreement never was in place and getting mad over being found to have lied I understand but the normal person hangs their head and and will make it right.......but not this guy he is determined to not do the right thing.

You may be wondering why the title for this blog........Let's start with the OLD FEARS......never buy off a forum there is no protection.......LESSONS LEARNED.......NEVER BUY OFF ANY FORUMS THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED.......at least on EBAY you have Ebay you can file a complaint with and then Paypal......on ebay you cannot pay as a gift......I have used the gifting system to save a seller fro mthe commission charges when they give me a very good deal.....as I did this seller.......the problem lies in this you cannot get a refund on a gift......my problem with this, no one elses just mine........

So never buy off a forum unless you know the person very well or can check them out with other members first.....SECONDLY.......NEVER EVER GIFT ANY MONEY.....IF THE SELLER WON'T TAKE STANDARD CREDIT CARD OR ECHECKS THRU PAYPAL DON'T TRUST THEM...............

Art, I looked up the for sale post for this on DGrin and I see you haven't posted any updates about the transaction since you sent payment to the seller. May I suggest that you add a comment there about the trouble you're having so that other DGrinners will know what's going on? Right now, anyone who looks at that thread won't see any indication that you had a problem.
