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...............

Forum purchase - Nikon 70-200f2.8

I am a member of a great online community called DGRIN....and as with most forums they have a buy/sell forum called the FLEA MARKET.......I normally do not buy or sell a lot on there and I am critized for being an EBAYER but in my own defense 99% of all of my purchases on ebay I can get a square trade warranty....but i have bought off the forums when an item is near new nd still under the original warranty as long as seller agrees to send the item in for repair if needed since mfg'ers warranties are not transferable.........

Well I made a deal for a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR.....a lens that is less than 2 yrs old and I sent the Fellow Dgrinner $1230........9 days ago paid extra for overnight shipping.....have yet to receive the lens........I have called him at work and I called him at home............Rockford Il is only a 12 hr drive from wichita..loks like I may be in for a road trip to collect.

I am an EXTREMELY MAD new user of Dell Products: Studio 17 Laptop

I am an EXTREMELY MAD new user of Dell Products: Studio 17 Laptop!!!!!!!!!

Why am I EXTREMELY MAD....because prior to purchasing my studio 17, I called sustomer service and explained I was making a PRE-Sales call.....fact finding mission....I do this even with local retailers prior to spending any amount of money over $5.............I asked point blank if the studio 17 (win 7 Uliti 64) I was considering would: 1- run my Adobe, roxio and other 32 bit software...that was currently running on my 32 bit XP 8 month old custome built machine.

2- would I be able to run my older printers and scanners that are currently operating on my custome built 32 bit system

3- will win XP mode and Virtual PC run on this laptop......

I was told YES to all questions.........................so I ordered and I got a nice looking machine...that I put thru some paces of getting all of my internet browsing info synced to the laptop and then downloaded a special effect sound and burned a CD.....that would not play in anything but the laptop (not happy).....then I tried to play a CD and it simply skipped for the first 30 seconds...tried this out on 30 other cd's....went to the store and bought 2 new disks....not a smudge on them..they skipped......called Dell tech support.....while they had re-mote control of the laptop I had the tech check an express card CF card reader/writer that was not being recognized......the determination was that the laptop needed to be returned and repaired.....ok........it was gone for about 4 days....not bad......get it back....disks still skip...not as bad mind you but they skip.......then I went and downloaded the Win 7 XP MODE AND VIRTUAL PC apps and the HAVTOOL to check everything out and guess what....my processor ias not capable of virtualization.......let me see...Question 3.....will XP MODE AND VIRTUAL PC RUN ON THIS COMPUTER...the customer service agaen told me it would........

Is it common for Dell to tell prospective customers what they want to hear rather than the truth........I would have probably bewen more than willing to upgrade the processor at that time.....now I am just EXTREMELY MAD and just migjht be seeking a return and refund, unless a Dell rep want to email me and upgrade the processor for free......as this is costing me money as I cannot process photos with out the ability to run my version of photoshop..........and the KICKER yesterday was I tried to install a second hard drive.......I found all of the screws to the access panel were damaged.....yes that is correct the phillips head screw heads were stripped.....who ever removed the access panel at Dell used the wrong phillips bit or used an air driver and"drilled out the screw heads......ON TOP OF THAT THEY LOCK TITED THE SCREWS IN.....this is a customer accessable access panel for adding Harddrives or ram or a TV chip......I had to take it to a local computer tech company and have the screws removed......then I found out that the Hard drive carriage and adapter were gone........I ahd taken the laptop to the same local tech to verify that I could install the harddrive and all was good last week on that problem.........

yes I am ESTREMELY MAD and have every right to be and I have every right to let others know of my situation!!!!!!!!

now to call dell and see what they are going to do about this!!!!

NON photographic....please bear with me.

back in about 1972 I was stuck in the hills of Arkansas Newton County....when I moved thre in '68 there were still signs on the county lines stating "N" do not let the sun set on you in this county......I was raised with no real knowledge of color and the "N" word was just as apt to be used for a white person as anyone else......after a few weeks in this strange place I now called home....I had a huge realization...there were no indians, no blacks and no chinese (at the time my knowledge of asian was the chinese that ran resturants.......and I asked some school mates why there everyone was white at school and was given a lesson that never set well with me...as it ended up being the science teacher/superintendent that explained that no one but whites were welcome in the county.......back to 1972....I had the pleasure to bein a Readers Theater Play and I had to give the "I had a Dream" speech to an all white, backward, racist crowd.....somehow the state police found out about the play and were lining the back wall of our school auditorium......it was scary.....of course I carried a new set of names from that night on........as I had found tapes of the speech to listen to and practice his accent and I almost sounded like Dr. King when I gave that speech.
