First eBay fail

[chilla]

I have been focusing on collecting Petri rangefinders lately. I picked up what looked like a nice Petri half 7 camera with the blue magic scope. 
There was a couple of small dents and a small gouge in the leathertte but it all looked cosmetic and minor. 

The camera arrived yesterday and all the glassware was loose having broken off its glued mountings and were floating around inside the casing. The rear viewfinder glass was missing altogether. 

Disappointing. 

Have requested a refund / return - hopefully it goes smoothly. Would have been a nice addition to the collection.

chilla,

If the vendor is uncooperative a threat of branding him/her with negative feedback sometimes works. You should send an example to the vendor along with your threat.

Next time ask vendor for better pictures AND verbal description.
Make it nasty.
