Slightly OT but I sent two Synths out via eBay selling and my two Bass Stations where both returned and told where broken on arrival, what I got back each time on the two where the same model but alas different serial numbers! Couldn't do Arse about it, what a complete knock! Should have taken photos of serial panel code but even this I doubt would have helped me resolve this as there are some wicked scum bags out there! My loss was about £350 in total. I have now been warned that people will "harvest" parts from vintage electronics, not good :-(
Bike related I've had a few knocks as well, someone sent me a beat up wheel once and "disappeared" couldn't send it back, he lived in London so I popped round, someone answered the door and I told him "Are you this person?" He replied "He's not here, can I help you?" So "Here please give this to so and so I've been sold the wheel and it's not as described, please take it back" I got on bike and cycled off, didn't worry about it for much but rattled me that I had been sold something listed as near new that was fudged, this was before I understood PayPal of course!
