I have the right to feel a bit pissed off when I buy a cd on ebay described as new and it comes with a hole in the barcode on the insert cover that the seller failed to mention at all, right? Just checking.... |
||||||||
|

|
|
definitely should've disclosed that |

whats the difference? srsly, i have no idea. |

I think they do that with promotional records sendt to record stores etc. so they cant't sell it, at full price anyway. The cd and cover is completely intact but it's a matter of principal. For your information I payed 6$ for it, new, unused cd released in 1996. "Earth Loop" by Chimera. Etheral shoegaze kind of music. |

Send him a message and tell him that its not new, then tell him you sent him the message because you wanted to know what he wanted to do about the situation before you left him feedback. More than likely hell offer you a nice discount, if he offers for you to return the item, say you already opened the cd and dont want to waste your time driving to the post office and would prefer a discount. |

I bought a CD on ebay once and the disc had this big hole in the middle of it. Seller made no mention of it at all - disgraceful. It was right in the middle and big enough to poke my finger through! Caveat emptor indeed! |

The CD IS new, it's just a promo. It can go from the label to the shop to you or from the label to a promoter to you - not much difference. Still, you can always ask for a refund if a hole punch in the bottom corner of a CD rear inlay is ruining your life. |

i don't get this. i think where you went wrong was in A) thinking a cd released in 1996 was new, and B) stating having a completely intact bar code was a prerequisite of purchase. to be honest if B) is the be all and end all, why not just colour photo copy the thing and just draw on the missing parts of the bar code in black crayon? |

that is the worst thing i ever heard. sure to haunt you till your dying day. how will you ever get over it. my deepest sympathy. |

on the internet you're supposed to act like you're better than you are |

Chill out folks! No, this is not going to haunt me till my dying day but I still feel that the seller in question didn't act according to common decency of internet shopping. But it's not that big a deal, really. Instead of complaining to the seller I figured I'd ask around here about what you think since I thought that maybe some of you actually collect records. I'm new to ebay anyway, so what do I know? The thing is, when I'm offered an item for only 4$ and I pass on it because it has a hole in the code, decide to pay 2$ more to a different seller since he says nothing about such a flaw on his item and then end up with one anyway, I feel slightly irritated as a record collector. Wouldn't you? |

I meant to say common decency of internet trading, not shopping. Sorry. |

if you are pissed off as a costumer imagine being a label and watching bastards passing off promo copies of the discs you sent them to review as 'new' cds for sale at discogs and ebay. there are a few reviewers in particular who almost seem to do it as a 'fuck you' like don't send your music here anymore because im just going to turn around and sell it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
note: there are some reviewers out there who seem genuinely strapped for cash and will give a cd a nice review but then sell it anyways! so i can't fault the practice entirely of selling a promo. |
