I was eager to see your reply, Dan.

I also corresponded with your seller today. He is really a
conscientious guy with excellent feedback and and incredibly helpful
attitude.

*He readily volunteered earlier to me that it was "100% his fault" and
told me he would do *anything* to make you happy, and that he believes
you without questioning your integrity in the slightest and was pleased
to know the truth. Too bad all eBayers weren't so inclined.

*He also said that the person who sold them to him actually made the
cases, not him, and told him those weights and that he had no way of
checking and he never even opened a case.

*He also said that some of his auctions which still had the incorrect
weight vs. the others that never had a weight in the listing had
nothing to do with him "still cheating" as you construed on the list.
Rather, the auctions that were still running hadn't been changed and
the ones that never had the weights were the buy-it-nows, according to
him it was just the way he had listed them. I didn't check this but it
sounds plausible..

*So, apparently, there was an honest mistake that was corrected in the
most professional manner by a simple communication. Yet you dragged
this guy across the coals in front of 1000 of his potential customers
without checking better and then you shot me as the messenger for
suggesting to communicate more with him before cryiong wolf. You even
violated eBay policy by linking his name to his username in public,
though a nitpick, I am sure it would genuinely hurt the seller if he
knew it - but he's not a list member so had no way to know or respond.

All the while your seller is apparently holding his head down
embarrassed and trying to make things right. This is the problem with a
one sided story and honestly it seems irresponsible to me on your part.
Do you agree? Good luck in your future dealings, and I hope no one does
to you what you did to him. The kicker is, the guy feels so bad about
it that all he can say is that he understands your frustration and
hopes you cut him a break.
Doug

Hello all, I have good news. The seller has promised to revise all
his listings. He is also offering to replace all the mounts that i
broke open for free. Furthermore, he is re-negotiating a new price
with me for these mounts since i purchased a few of them now that we
have an actual weight and hopefully we can agree on a fair price and i
will get to keep them. If we cannot agree on a new price he has
agreed to pay for the return shipping and give me a full refund. So
just incase anybody has purchased these mounts from him, they are
actually 7mg - 10mg and he never checked them and he appologizes for
the mistake and is willing to refund anybody who purchased these
thinking they were 24mg just send him an email. So hopefully
everything works out with this guy and I am happy to find out that his
mistake was not intentional and he is doing everything to resolve this
issue including revising his listings to either take out the weight
completely and just sell them as micro mounts or state the weight of
7mg - 10mg the choice is up to him and i am satisfied with either way
he chooses to proceed.
