I am not going to mention names or the forum (I have been trying to be civil about getting my money back) but I bought a used elect. antenna for a 240. I understand that used parts are buyer beware, but you should be reasonably safe buying an antenna. Right? Well, the guy didn't test it before he sent it all the way across the country, and it doesn't work.

The cost was very reasonable (35.00 shipped)but I put it in and no worky. I do have 12v to the plug and a good ground. I suspect there is a piece of the plastic rope/track stuck down in the motor. I thought about taking it apart, but figured he would for sure not give me my money back then. Plus, it doesn't seem to be very easy to take apart, appears to be screwed and glued, (like me!)

I have been negotiating with him all week, and his first offer was 5.00!!! Then, after I said unacceptable, he offered me 20.00, and I ship it back but it cost 15.00 to ship it back, so still only 5.00. I then suggested he refund 20.00 and I keep the POS paperweight (so I don't have to ship it all the way back to oregon), and probably pitch it, or use it as a manual antenna. still a no go.

I am now getting ready to give him a bad review on the buyer/seller rating forum. I hate to do this, but he is not negotiating, and I am out 35.00 and still have to spend more$ now for an antenna. What should I do, bash him or walk away? I hate being played for a dumb@$$ and having someone thinking they got over on me!!!
