Rats!! E Bay sure has fixed sellers with their changes. Sellers have NO options but to do whatever E bay & paypal decides you must.
I sold a MDC kit for a Battle Mountain Galloping Goose , for those not familiar with it , I'll describe it : it was a non powered beast made from a box cab diesel, a box car & a frame with a hood stuck on it . They had a sort of set of instructions in it to use a diesel drive to power it. All in all it was not really a winner, just something MDC threw together to try to cash in on the RGS Goose craze.
Any way some guy bought it for 41 dollars. I had put in a Tyco drive unit out of a tender from the chantanoga choo choo as a bonus.
Here is the Ebay listing so you can see that I described this thing EXACTLY & had pictures as well
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...7.l1313&satitle=190249918585&category0=&fvi=1
SO the guy gets it & immediately I get this back from him :
Thank you for your response, I received it this morning and you have a problem this is not a galloping goose,or even close there's a box cab diesel&a box car,two additional frames thats it. I really do not want either, please check to see if you forgot to ship the goose!
Thanks Rick
So I returned this to him :
It is exactly what I advertised on the listing--a roundhouse MDC kit sold as a Battle mountain galloping goose . I showed a picture of the kit opened & stated the exact title that MDC sold it as. I am sorry that you thought that it would be a RGS type goose but it is what it is --a MDC kit.
Next thing I know he has filed a claim of the item not being as described & E Bay ( pay pal) hits my account for a refund to him. NO WAY for me to do anything but give it back to him.
I sent him another E mail telling him that I thought as much as he bid at the very last second he had never read the actual ad & that he thought he was stealing a brass RGS Goose for 40 bucks & after seeing what it was realized his greed had trapped him .
This is the next I got from him.
SIR. you should have been a politician on the way that you twist the facts,make yourself a victim and then accuse me of being deceitful,then call me names,suggest that I would want defraud you, SIR! you are some piece of work,you need the Lord Jesus to save you're poor soul from disbelief of your own facts and face the truth about yourself I,ll be praying for your salvation. Rick
Shortly after that came this:
Dear camwtatt,
SIR' I've been nothing but kind in my dealings with this add,I used the deceptive text you printed to decide to buy a non motorized static model with additional drive to motorize it,whether it has been out of production or not, a plastic static model for41.00 dollars would have been resonable, also I'm a collector of roundhouse products they only produce in plastic you "Idiot" therefore I was'nt trying to get a brass model for 40.00 dollars as I also collect brass,I do know what the difference is and just for the record if the RGS goose was only available in brass,why did roundhouse make a box with the goose picture on it and sell "a static model" in your words from the add DUHHHHH!!!!!!!
Thanks for paypal and yes you should pay for the return shipping as there is nothing there I want and this way you can further besmerch my integrity by telling everybody how I kept the real model and sent you back a box full of junk,that seems too be what will happen.
Rick
Then came this :
Dear camwtatt,
SIR! It is obvious you are a blithering IDIOT,you only want to verbally bash and try to intimidate people with that victim attitude,screaming,yelling,accusing,just read your own words unmolested,complete,factory new,intact never opened, this is intentionally misleading. As far as my trying to beat anybody out of something,calling me a thief is uncalled for, people who accuse others of something are usually guilty of what
they are accusing. You're e-mails are so full of anger and hate,you're just mad because you've been called on the ad. Why call names and make accusations,try a little kindness,I have no desire to cheat you as indicated two other times in e-mails.I said I would send it back,don't compliment yourself thinking you're right about my intension's being less than honorable.
Rick
Finally I sent him this :
You claim to be a MDC collector , IF that were true you would KNOW that this kit IS EXACTLY what I said it to be, FURTHER IF you could read you could have seen the instruction sheets WITH the KIT showed EXACTLY THE PARTS in the KIT which ARE ALL THERE & SOME ARE IN AN UNOPENED PLASTIC BAG--EXACTLY AS I SAID . THERE WAS NOT ONE THING IN THE AD MISLEADING OR INACCURATE--- PERIOD---. TO claim I stated the kit was unopened is a bit STUPID in as MUCH AS I had a picture of it with the box lid OFF. The Kit you bid on and received is EXACTLY as MDC made it with the exception of the tender drive unit I added as a bonus. IT is YOU SIR ,who is the IDIOT who cannot understand & comprehend simple english.
Since we are never going to agree on much ,& I have refunded your money will you please submit a request thru PAY PAL for whatever amount you wish to EXTORT from me to COMPENSATE you for the return of the kit. I will then pay you to finish the correction of your own stupidity in buying my kit. BE advised I do not intend to be extorted for any amount in EXCESS of 20.00 $ to get it back, if you think your time to drive ( provided you can --one must read to get a license) to the post office is worth 30 or so an hour you will not get it.
Ok--- So he got his money back, an extra 6.00$ to send it back to me ---- I got it today ---- THE ******* had NEVER unwrapped the box!!!
EXACTLY what I thought was what happened , AFTER he bid & won it he realized it was an MDC kit not a Brass RGS & the whole Charade started.
E Bay won't do a D$%^M thing either & I can't even leave bad feedback for the guy --sellers are not allowed that option anymore!
Thanks , at least I feel better now . wall1wall1wall1:curse::curse:
