So I'm sure most everyone here's bought some piece of old test gear on ebay or some other site, we all know the lines sellers use, as-is, unable to test, only comes with what is in picture. But, when do you complain when it's not what was pictured?
I recently bought an isolation transformer on ebay, and in the auction it looked brand new, but the unit I got is banged up a bit. I'm not sure if it happened in shipping (it was packed poorly for something that weighs 5 kilos) or what, but it looks like it was dropped, and the transformer actually hit the end panel and bent it, chipping the paint, the mounting tabs are bent, the rivets were popped off and replaced with only 3 screws, and it's not even the exact model pictured (R is missing from the end of the model number, whatever that means).
I'm just wondering would anyone complain about this, or just not sweat it?
