Quiet me, quiet you, it seems like the “new trend” among private sellers and also among some professional sellers: they put used items up for sale but, in the case of electronic equipment or VHS tapes, DVDs, Super 8 films, audio CDs and vinyl records, they don’t talk about whether they work, and only someone who’s a bit shrewd asks for clarification about how they work, only to be told that the items for sale don’t work or haven’t been tested. Basically these “characters” are playing on the good faith of buyers to make a profit from junk fit for the bin. My advice is that when it’s not explicitly written that the item is working, always message the seller to ask, and if the answer is no, give the smart-aleck of the moment a nice: “GO TO HELL AND .......AND DON’T PASS GO ! ! !”In the case of professional sellers, who answer questions about whether it works with “if it doesn’t work, send it back” , RUN AWAY ANYWAY ! ! ! the right of withdrawal is of little use, you lose money, because most of the time return shipping costs are on you and you waste time.Finally, a small “addendum”: if you happen to run into the “professional smart-aleck” and “fall for it”, after sending the item back and getting your refund, leave negative feedback anyway, otherwise these characters put the faulty item back up for sale as if nothing had happened.
