Should have known it was the wrong coast :)

segasonicfan:
I bought this cab and the convergence ring was BROKEN, literally missing parts.  Part of the glass was chipped at the end as well as one of the pins on the tube being bent from someone jamming on the neck board.  The plastic around the pins was broken too.

I asked Antonio for a small partial refund since his ad clearly says NEEDS ADJUSTMENT and he is saying he will not even consider it.   

 :angry:

Just warning folks, dont deal with this guy...

So, how bad of a problem is this? Is the monitor useable in its current shape? Is it repairable? If so, at what cost.
To be fair, he stated there was a problem and he may not have knew of the physical damage. It is technically your responsibility to inspect the known problem before buying.

He says very clearly it needs readjustment, not that it has broken parts.  Readjusting doesn't cost me anything and I am fine with that.  Replacing broken parts does and all I am asking is that he pays for the replacement part.

Obviously if the monitor was useable in its current shape I wouldn't care about any partial refund. 
I did inspect it before buying too, unfortunately I should have inspected it more than I did.  The monitor booted up though and convergence was indeed off, so I took his word for it.

There are 3 broken parts, only one of which makes the monitor not usable:

1) Broken convergence ring- one of the tabs is literally gone and has been broken off.  This is the major problem.

2) Broken plastic and glass at the base of the neck (apparently someone didn't know how to attach the neck board and broke it).

3) Bent (almost broken) pin at the input on the glass

These problems are not easily seen due to the neck board covering them. 

Anyway, all I'm asking is for him to cover the replacement convergence ring, not even the broken glass/plastic/pin.  I think this is pretty reasonable since he clearly stated that the monitor only needed adjustment (and not broken, as is, etc.)

As to not continue crapping up the BAD TRADER thread I moved this response and my reply here...

The BIG CAPS are not necessary for an honest and informative reply.

Think about what you just said...you are willing to risk others not wanting to work deals with you because you are "difficult" over a $15.00 item?   Do whatever you want my friend,  but IMHO this issue falls squarely on you.

Well that's just it- that's your opinion.  And if people reading this think I am a bad buyer/trader/seller because of this than they probably aren't people I would want to do business with anyway.  Plus I have plenty of feedback all over the place.

...and again, please don't take my initial post as "hostile"...it wasn't intended to come off that way, but instead to demonstrate the fact that in this case,  it's not right to call Antonio a bad trader as the deal went as it was supposed to.

Again, your opinion.  and the deal went as it was supposed to???  He sold me a cab with a broken monitor when he stated it only needed adjustment.  This isn't exactly a tough one to grasp..

Have a nice day.

That seems extremely condescending by the way.

Segasonicfan,  it is getting more and more clear that you are upset with yourself for not being a diligent buyer and you are taking it out on the seller.  Again "buyer beware" applies here.  The guy was open enough to allow you to inspect the equipment on sight.  When you agreed to purchase said equipment and handed him the money,  the deal was DONE.  To give this guy a bad trader post because he isn't willing to renegotiate the terms after you have taken posession was just wrong.  Because you are upset at yourself for not properly inspecting the stated issue you have decided to take it out on the seller,  who,  evidently,  was more than willing to allow you to inspect said item.  To attack me for pointing this out only underscores this fact.

While I am not saying this is anywhere near true,  but what is to say that the neck got damaged during transit from his location to yours?  What is to say you didn' t drop the cabinet while hauling it up to your place?  What is to say that lightning didn't strike the neck breaking the plastic?  YES...these are absurd statements for sure,  but I am trying to point out that once you take possession of the item and hand him the cash,  IT IS YOURS...the deal is done...kaput...finis'... and to whine about the deal after the fact there only makes you look bad (again IMHO).

I hope you have learned something from this transaction...I know I did,  and for that I thank you.

And BTW...please please please do have a nice day!
