    Actually he knew that what I considered to be good maintenance was at least running the laser for ~15 minutes once a month.

    It's a bit much to think it's coincidence that this laser pops up on eBay right now... Exact same model. In your exact area. Not working. No remote. AND the power cable was "routed to a standard US plug."

    You do realize that in our PMs prior to your purchase I clearly stated that as I understood it good maintenance is at least running the laser for ~15 minutes once a month.

    Is that true? I don't have the device or the packaging though to show that it's not working/was packaged well. That is the question that has been relentlessly discussed in the previous posts... He flat out refused to take me up on what I offered him so I guess we're going to let PayPal decide...

    Bad Experience with SwimminSurfer256

    I mean it's just the truth. I needed spare cash and the purpose of selling the laser was to be able to buy a laptop -- which I did. That's the reason I didn't offer return/refund -- because I KNEW I wouldn't have the money to. I waited until the laser arrived not DOA to use up my money. I can...

    Not trashed -- attacked. I'm just a little peeved that this negative thread (see title) was created before the situation came to an end.. That's just personal feelings though. If that had occurred with our transaction and you paid and then said you needed the money and asked me to not ship the...

    Wow this is getting a little out of hand... First of all, @zdark, there was some sarcasm in the whole "take our private messaging here" but I realize that's hard to convey over text. Second, @flamin I agree that it should not be assumed that the buyer mishandled the laser somehow, but it could...

    Maybe we should post my recent *private* messages (PM) [the last two of which I have addressed the refund issue and you haven't even responded] here for the world to see so they don't hear your shortened versions of them (i.e. "he won't refund me" or "he is only going to refund me this much"...

    Thanks for making me sound like that. I said I don't have money to refund you with. You already opened a PayPal dispute anyways which resulted in freezing the small amount of funds I had left to pay off some of my debt.. We're going to have to wait for that to be resolved. I just wasn't given...

    It's not an excuse! It's an explanation for why I have no money to spare. I'm still a little in credit card debt as it is.. I still stand by the fact that it did work great. I don't know how the device was treated. Like I said earlier, if it was DOA it would be a different story.

    One day til the top 10! I'm going to give you guys that have been active in this a bit of a heads up. Part of next competition theme is going to be: You can only use green or red lasers (preferably both if you have them!). I'm sure you can figure out where I'm going with this (it will be...

    Bad Experience with SwimminSurfer256

    I guess in summary this is how I see it: I sold a "used" item that "worked great" every single time I used it. I offered no return or refund policy because I knew I'd be spending the money on a big purchase (which I stated in the post) and wouldn't have the money to refund. When ZDarkAzn got the...

    As far as I know, there isn't an official duty cycle for Argons but they do get really hot. I would think it to be common sense to turn it off and let it rest if the exhaust air became really really hot. I don't really know TBH and that's why I said I didn't know when he asked me about any...

    Here's my side of this story: I needed some spare cash to buy a laptop so I can work in places outside my room so I decided to sell the laser. I sold it as a person selling a personal item *used*, not as a business selling a device. I offered no warranty or returns. I purchased full price...

    Yeah this one was an open comp basically if the beam of the laser was involved and a focal point of the picture I said it was okay. Any form. What may be a "beamshot" to some may not be a beamshot to others. I've got plenty of ideas ;) don't worry!
