Hey 'nuts --
I got my money back today less a few dollars (!?!?!) and a ~$20 PayPal
fee. I neglected to say when I related the sordid tale that I had
initiated an eBay dispute on the item. It had absolutely no effect.
The kicker seemingly was declaring that I would proceed with criminal
and civil remedies. Anything over $400 is grand theft in California.
I got messages off list from several others who had similar experiences
with this seller. One used the eBay dispute process to get his money
back; the other had to resort to the threat of involving the police.
So, again, please be warned.
Final lesson: if you pay someone through PayPal and you have an issue,
watch the clock carefully. File a dispute preemptively, if you are
close to the cut off.
So, anyone got a *working* 5065A for sale? :-)
Cheers,
-- Christopher.
p.s. I am certain that eBay item #330009365677 is the 5065A I returned.
It is in great shape cosmetically, but it has no physics package.
