Default Pissed off about my RNS-E. won e-Bay auction for $610......

Guess I got lucky cause most of the exact same ones were going from $800-$1200.
I PayPal him, and it goes through. Then he emails me (read in English accent) "my friend, unit is broken, i'll refund you".
Now, I got a full refund, so that's good, but you just know this guy was pissed that the unit went for so low and just cancelled it. You see the exact same eBay store type auction on there now...same guy...same ad.

Default For those of you looking for RNS-E on eBay just be a little suspect of these types:

BTW, it was $660 after $50 in shipping.
Again, I didn't lose any money, but it just smells funny.


HERE'S THE EMAIL I RECEIVED:

Dear xxxxxxx,

This email is to let you know that Amir Hossein Tashakori has returned your
payment of $660.00 USD. This means that the transaction is not complete and the
funds have not been transferred to the recipient.

There are many reasons why your recipient may have chosen not to accept your
payment. For example, if you paid with a credit card, they may have declined the
payment because their account can only accept funds from PayPal balances or bank
accounts.

Your funds will be returned to their original source. We encourage you to
contact the recipient directly to find out what type of PayPal payment would be
acceptable.



Message from Amir Hossein Tashakori:
I am very sorry the item is broken, when i get another i let
you know!!! Sorry my friend

Why not just contact a respected reseller &amp; deal with quality?

Default $610 compared to a couple of grand is about 1500 reasons.

Navi-us sells the smaller screen version for $1400 plus extras. How about the full 6.5" screen version with the SD slots....$2000? $2500?
That's a big enough cost difference to at least try in my book.

I see that this person used Alex's pics and charts to put his/her auction page together. With NAV+ units purchased over the internet it's always best to go with a known seller. $610 for a NAV+ with that harness was too good to be true. Why don't you bid on it again and snipe it at the last moment. I don't think the seller would have ***** enough to deny you twice.
