When you buy anything sight unseen ( pictures are just that, images ) you are taking a punt aren`t you? It certainly sucks harder that items purchased off a forum from what you would imagine are fraternal like minded individuals. In my tenure I`ve seen some real beauts. I`m on forums based in America and yeah, I`ve seen guys selling items and do the right thing and then ping! they go nutty and burn several members. On one local forum I`m aware of a guy who is an outright thief peddling his ill gotten items there. He was discovered but not before people bought tainted goods or indeed lost stuff. But for sure, feel ya pain mate, bullsh!t blows. Caveat emptor. Something dogdgey I noticed when I was looking to buy my car, I looked on carsales etc. You see this car and omfg its like new? you fall in love with it.. Then, oooh, you look close at the dash pic and the odometer is showing 3 digits and lotsa zeros. The flaking thing is NEW! Old mate shoots a few gigs worth of pics the day he takes delivery and then 50,000 klms later that's the pics he uses in the ads. It became obvious after a while but it still sh!t me.
