Talk about fraud-scams!!
« on: May 18, 2003, 01:55:47 PM »
I ran across an item I've been looking for sometime on ebay.  

Anyway.

It's a true rapid charger that has a real thermal coupler installed (not one of those phony cheap IC-chips) also to slow the charging down too a trickle charge and then open the circuit once the charge reaches !00% capacity. Then if the device charging sits in the charger too long and starts losing its charge,the thermal coupler will close the circuit (in the trickle mode again) and top it off.


Having said that.

This seller had a lot of thirty 'new'! The brand and model type too boot.
The bad part it was an actual lot sale. Buy All. Not bid on a few of the thirty.
I only need/want three ... could ... maybe five.

So I shot off an email asking the seller some questions.

Other than the seller would not divide the thirty but the real kicker was shipping!

He claims each package weighs 12.5lbs.
I know what they weigh because I already have one! Less than one pound!

Shot off another email asking if he meant 12.5lbs for the thirty combined perhaps?
Reply: Each one of the thirty weighs 12.5lbs

What a crock!

Still ran over to ups and usps sites to see what the skinny would be to ship them.
By camel it would be way more than their worth!

Took a picture of the one I have and its weight that's on the box.
Sent it to the seller without adding my -- errr words -- thinking he'll see the light.

He sent back the one finger high sign. biggrin.gif

If this item was a real serious -must have- situation think I'd turn the joker in to ebay let alone do all sorts of nasty tricks on the guy. Its not though. smile.gif

Best to do the nasty tricks on the guy, ebay seldom follows through on complaints. Devilish2.gif
