Re: Argh, need some ebay advice!

Well, that didn't work, heh

I'm truly shocked to read your response. I'm not sure
what to say.

I would recommend you reconsider your position, as it
really makes no sense at all. You'll notice that I
did not say anythinga about the crystal, servicing
required, dial, etc. in my e-mail. I bought the watch
subject to those issues.

However, the INSIDE of the watch is not original to
this watch. That has nothing to do with restoration
whatsoever. The caseback is from an entirely
different watch. The dust cover is from an entirely
different watch.

I'm not accusing you of fraud, as I truly believe you
didn't know about these issues. But Adam - this is
not the watch you advertised. The fact that you
listed the watch as best you could does not alter the
fact that you misdescribed it. It's not a matter of
intention, but rather of fairness in the transaction.

I've issued refunds from time to time in watch
transactions for reasons far less severe than this.
The watch is worth at least $1,000 less with the wrong
markings in the inside of the caseback and wrong dust
cover.

I'm going to give you one more chance to do the right
thing here Adam. Life is too short and the world is
too small to take the kind of stand you suggest you
are going to take. This issue isn't going to go away,
I can promise you - PayPal would just be the
beginning.

I am willing to eat the fees and the shipping costs
back to you. You suggested you had a buyer willing to
pay you $3,000 - you can take it to them and sell it
as you were going to do before.

Let me know your intentions.
Gonna negotiate with him and offer him a partial refund
I wouldn't feel right otherwise.
