Hello, this is the first time I’m writing. I’ll briefly describe my situation: in February I bought, at a considerable price, an LP listed as "Mint Play" and Near Mint, meaning "Plays like new." In March I received the LP and, not having my turntable available right away, I kept the LP with the belief that it would "play like new and the whole album" also taking into account the amount spent to buy it, so in my opinion for that sum it had to be worth it and it had to be a truly excellent LP!... Two months passed and in May I finally had my turntable, I try to listen to the LP and it turns out to be a complete disaster, every track skips except maybe only 2 tracks... Heartbroken, I contacted the seller explaining to him that the record is defective and damaged, a disaster and, since he was selling another identical one, I tried to solve the situation by kindly asking him to sell me the same LP he had listed at half price, I even offered him much more than half but the seller from May to June never replied to me and moreover kept marking his profile as away until a certain date, then came back and then immediately away again until another certain date... On his side, no reply. On July 1 he came back again and in the afternoon I wrote him yet another message asking him if he accepted my offer but still no reply and only silence... At 9:00 in the evening the record was sold with an offer to another buyer! You can’t imagine how I felt, I felt cheated and I was more than kind and patient, this had never happened to me before, unfortunately I was only able to listen to the LP 2 months after receiving it and so he could have argued that I had somehow used or damaged the vinyl, which is absolutely not true anyway... In short, I didn’t want the second LP for free, I wanted to buy it and since this one was also rated "Near Mint" and cost the same price as the defective vinyl he had sold me as "Mint Play - Near Mint" he could at least have replied to me; my offer was only £35.00 less than the selling price. That’s everything that happened to me with this very expensive LP... I understand that months have passed but the LP was absolutely not in line with the description in the listing... You can’t imagine the bitterness and disappointment of having spent so much on a defective LP that isn’t worth that amount. I wanted to inform eBay right away but, aware that 2 months had passed since delivery, from the very beginning I doubted that I could still be entitled to anything; rather, I was more afraid of receiving retaliation. That’s all. Bitterness, so much bitterness... For that amount I expected a perfect and wonderful album but it turned out to be the exact opposite. Money badly spent, defective album that skips, so much bitterness and so much disappointment!
