Draw your conclusions..........

Posted by RedGrant (A) on August 8, 2011 at 08:54:35

I've recently won a beocord 5000, (70's version, not 80's), for $51.16 including shipping.

The seller claimed to have tested the unit and all buttons as working.


It was DOA. Didnt' even power off. I sent an email, and she told me I had to press button harder with tape on. I did, still didnt' work, no, the outlet is not a problem, I already tested it.


Sent a second email, and she told me I had to unplug the cord with the deck off, and replug it and press on. I did, still didn't work.

Only button that works is eject.

At this point, she told me I could sent the deck back and she will reimburse me both for original shipping and the winning bid.

Now, this deck is pretty rare and so I don't want to send it back since I could use it a parts deck, still I would not have bid it to $51.16, had it been advertised as non-working parts deck.


Besides, she might not reimburse me and it could get 'lost' during transit or get damaged.



Question is .......should I

give her negative feedback?

or

give her neutral feedback?

or

give no feedback at all?

I am certainly not going to give her positive feedback, but she has had about 300 transactions and has 100% rating, and I don't really want to be the one to ruin her rating.


I will let you know who she is if I decided to give her either negative or neutral rating.
