E-Bay RETURNS, WHAT A BUCKET OF WORMS

I find out that if you buy a tuner or whatever on e-bay and open it up to put a tube or light bulb in , you have cancelled all your rights to return it......I buy a McIntosh tuner , open it up to replace the light bulbs and notice that my purchase is a piece of junk, I contact the seller and tell them I either need a adjustment or I need to return this........After 15 e-mails with the seller and e-bay about this I am informed that if I take the cover off I am a owner no mater what it looks like inside.......So be careful what you do if you want to return something.........ANOTHER INTERNET LESSON

I actually used Pay-Pal and I have been thinking of taking it up with them......I've always had good luck with Pay-Pal on bad deals.....E-bay doesn't let you use Pay-Pal resolution if it is a e-bay purchase.....At least I couldn't go in to Pay-Pal for this....

After spending some time with this tuner, I think that it will become a shop tuner on my work-bench and I will move on to something more productive.....Maybe work on my K-Horns or a couple amps I have orders for.......And listen to music........

The tuner looked fine on the out-side , but when I removed the covers it was all caroded from salt on the inside......The chassis was a green color.......That is where the problem is.......

Ones expectations of anything is relative, and I'm not sure if what one pays for something is relevant either....To answer your other questions, it does play nicely and looks pretty good, maybe that is all I can respect for 450.00.......I think given enough information would have helped if the seller knew what information to give.............Sometimes we assume too much from people that are not versed in HI-FI...........

Schubart, maybe everybody isn't as smart as you, I'm not going to spend a lot of time learning something that they will change in the near future to  suit there situation...........They sure don't care about mine.........

Let me say this, I have been on e-bay for twenty years , I have 3000 100% feed-backs , I pend over 50,000.00 a year on e-bay so I know something about this.....The biggest trouble with e-bay is its not consistent with its rules, one day its one thing and the next day its something else.......Its nice to have good rules that are not forever changing.........Some people don't buy enough stuff to run into problems.......So there view point isn't as relevant as high volume buyers, most of the buyers and sellers on e-bay have no idea what they are doing......
