Roger vH,
You are absolutely right, IF, the seller did not misrepresent the
item. The point of this or any transaction, isn't just who pays the
shipping and handling, it's misrepresenting or not completely describing
an item before shipping to a trusting buyer. "If," a vendor sells a
defective or incomplete part, or whatever the item, and "knows it is
such before shipping, without telling the buyer," he should not only buy
it back and pay all expenses, he should be keel hauled!
(or at the least, firmly bent over a "tailfin," please note how I kept
this fwdlk related))
Should the name of this vendor be known to the list? I will leave that
one up to Roger, as he is one of only two, who knows all the details of
this...let's say less than enchanting transaction.
I still believe "What goes around, comes around."
My $.26 worth, John in WI
