i remember when a friend of mine paid like $10 (big money at that age) for a holographic charizard that turned out to be a fake

in the uk all the fake cards had a more faded back... the quality of the colour printing wasn't as good. they were like a lighter shade of blue or whatever. i was an antique pro / sleuthHurricane2k9 wrote:

i still have all my pokemon cards in a binder with plastic sleeves the first 4 or so double sided (4x4x2=32 cards) pages are all holographic ones
i sank my binder at the bottom of a lake in switzerland when the war started to go hairy

Yep, exactly the same for me, there was a phase where I'm sure all of that would have sold for £100+ ........I think I missed that trainWinston_Churchill wrote:

I think it's worth like £3 now though...
What the fuck do you buy an 8 year old for Christmas under $50?

This set is $50 right here . And that's 318 pieces. Also, Lego has dumbed down their sets using large, premade pieces as opposed to making a single object with smaller, multiple pieces.

Well, that's enough talk about toys in 1 post for today...

second deck came today, terrible condition. needle stylus is snapped so it can't play records. poor cosmetic condition (was advertised as "excellent"). one of the 4 feet on the bottom of it is missing. it's dirty and grimy and hasn't even been cleaned. the dust-cover lid has a massive crack in it, far from 'like new'. anyone know what steps i can take next on paypal/ebay to fix this? a courier delivery to send it back will cost me £30. i'm fuming. never had anything like this happen to me in years of buying on the internet

All I know is Paypal tend to side with the customer on these things
they had better cause it is actually a joke how bad this thing is. without 4 feet it won't even sit flat, i.e. won't play records properly. and without a needle stylus? well yeah it's not even going to make contact with the vinyl. it would be fine getting over the cosmetic cracks and dents, but it's the fact that these decks are discontinued/£1000 in the stores now... tracking down one support-foot will be near impossible. and dj-quality vinyl needles cost £70+ in the shops. i'm not paying it.

i keep looking around in the box they sent it in like "am i missing something? where's the 4th foot packed away? is this a special dj needle that only deploys a stylus when it's on?" i'm in literal disbelief. "excellent general condition" is exactly what the ebay auction says. this wouldn't even sell in a pawn shop. i'd be surprised if the actual turntable mechanism itself works but i haven't even bothered plugging it in yet. what's the point? it's non-operational.

Open a case on ebay with the seller. Don't leave negative feedback yet because that may cause him to spite-feedback you. Take it through the official channels with paypal too.
If that doesn't work just post his address on here and we'll go to work on free samples of horse manure.

this fucking CUNT is offering me £100 as a refund. i just paid £220 for a broken item. and he's offering £100.

man literally fuck ebay if they don't fully refund me over this shit i am going to blow a fucking fuse. £220 wasted over the holiday season. i'm already working overtime this xmas to be able to buy everyone else all the pretty things they want. now i've lost a breezy £250 (it'll cost me 30 to return the cunting thing) to some mong on ebay. fuck ebay in its asshole.
