How's this for a horror story? A few months back, I bought a really
nice IMSAI dual 8" floppy drive system from someone on eBay. It set me
back $2000.00.
I think that's the horror story right there (paying $2000 for the drive).
When it arrived damaged, did the seller refund your money? Did you have
the money in escrow?
When I've recieved damaged goods from ebay (ok, it wasn't $2k,
but...), I've negotiated with the seller that they pay the shipping
expenses and sometimes a little more. Of course, for what I'm buying
its like $10 for the unit and $75 to ship it being more typical than
$2k for the goods and whatever for shipping.
