looks to me like someone tried to wet sand them and didn't know what they were doing. I bet 90% of those scratches will come out with a wet sand and buff.. I guess you could do that if the seller won't work with you. Yeah, the seller did you wrong, those aren't perfect and those kind of scratches don't come from shipping unless he wrapped them in sandpaper. But when buying online, make sure you get quality close-up pictures of the lights and see what you're buying before you buy it...

 

If you decide to keep them try Meguirs "PlastX" it's can remove anything of of plastic

 

That's exactly what I used to try to clean it up (with a microfiber towel). You are looking at the results of 3-4 applications).

what a terrible seller. "I cannot accept the lights back as I shipped them in perfect condition" bs comment right there. Lets see pictures of them in perfect condition before they shipped hahaha

 

[QUOTE=2slow,Aug 19 2008, 11:40 AM] You got screwed.

 

If he said they were in "perfect condition" that is a total lie! Sorry for your loss, that being said why is he selling his stuff, did he sell his S? If so, he may not care that you put his name out and it may be hard for you to get your money back. At some point you need to determine if your time trying to get some comp from the seller is worth the effort. You could try to sell the lens as is to recuperate some of your losses.

 

What an incredible liar and cheat!

Please post name and lets make sure nobody else becomes his victim.

WRONG.

You are entitled to a full refund and he can file a claim with the shipper to get his money back for damaging his shipment if you paid via PayPal.

 

What's his username?

 

I think your approach dealing with this was very mature and understandable. Not only are you trying to right a wrong, you're also helping other sellers know that they should be more accurate and truthful on their items.

This has been happening more frequently lately. I've seen other forums have a feedback system that is part of the member's avatar. That would help warn others when buying from a bad seller. And we won't have to search through multiple pages of good/bad feedback threads.

Hope everything works out for you.
