excellent point. humans are sometimes insufferable and should be put down.
Even if it's exactly as described, the "I want it less or I'll say it wasn't as nice as you said it was" phenomenon tends to dominate.
No problem. I'll refund your price via eBay, less whatever the 2nd chance offer is, and get the hell out of my driveway.
I once sold a set of shifters, properly represented, which worked in my hands. The buyer pointed out they didn't match, which was represented in my ad, so that was a moot point to me. However, they actually didn't work, which was 100% grounds for a refund, and I paid return shipping, too. I've got them about 85% "working," but wouldn't want anyone to have to fix something I represented as functional.
