i won an auction recently on a campy nr rd for $35, but it wasn't shipped.
- the seller first told me the rd was mistakenly picked up by a coworker and it would be a few days before shipment.
- a few days later the seller said the rd was mistakenly given away to a co-op, but he wanted to "make it right."
- i wrote that i'd like a refund and $5 extra.
- i had a hard time sending him my email address through ebay messaging for the $5 paypal payment.
- after he refunded me the purchase price, i finally said, "forget it" for the additional $5.
- he then paypal'd me $15.
- pleasantly surprised, i gave him positive feedback.
i then found another nr rd for about the same price. B^)
