Those cranks are fine. You wouldn't possibly notice cracks that tiny without the benefit of macro photography so why all the hate? You got some nice Campag cranks for fuck all. A couple of minutes with a small drill will stop them getting worse if you're really that bothered.
Loafheads is a nice guy, and went out of his way to sort you out. You lowballed him on price for the cranks, only revealed you were in Berlin after agreeing a sale. This is the point at which I would have withdrawn from the sale, as it's too much hassle for that kind of money. But Loafheads has more patience than me, so after making him take a trip to the post office to find out the shipping cost you then demanded he cap the shipping price, so he lost money on that too. Then you demand he send you money to account for the cracks, and when he quite reasonably refuses, as you have already pissed him around enough, but says you can return them for a refund.
That's not a bad seller by anyone's standards, but you sure come across as a nightmare buyer.
Caveat Emptor.
