    Default Puma Bresnick Duck Heads Up

    I was the high bidder on this Puma Bresnick duck... item # 200404313183 . Note that the seller characterized it as mint and unused. Upon looking at the photos I saw what appeared to be a crack in the pile side of the scales. I inquired about it and was told,"no it is just a reflection."

    So I went for it and upon receipt I found that the scale has a crack on both sides and that the razor is far from mint and unused but has hone wear that can't be seen in the photo ... at least I couldn't see it.

    So I emailed the seller and told him that I was returning the razor and that I thought that under the circumstances I should be refunded shipping both ways. He cheerfully agreed and upon receiving the razor did give me a full refund including the shipping.

    No problems and I wouldn't mention it but .... he has resisted it (item # 360212316316 ) and although he mentions that it is cracked on the back side he doesn't mention that there is hone wear but still lists it as."mint unused." even though I told him that it was not. So caveat emptor guys and gals.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Thanks for the heads up !!

    At least the guy did the right thing and refunded all your money, I just finished a horror where an ebayer who I purchased from refused to refund my money.

    I had to open a case against him through Ebay and Paypal. He made a real big thing over it still refusing to refund my money after taking the razor back. His ad was misleading and did not represent the item sold at all.

    Anyway between Ebay and Paypal they found him at fault and refunded my money against his wishes...Glad I used Paypal! Otherwise I was S O L.

    That was the first auction and I returned it for a refund. It is up again now with a misleading description. Currently there are 6 bidders and it is at $10.50.

    Oh yeah, duh. I knew that.

    Well, I recommend you don't spend so much on it this time.

    I know we always call it a Pumaduck but really you all know its not really one at all. Bresnick sold many brands and its really just a Puma he retailed. Thats why its all Puma but with the bresnick logo on the side.
