It was interesting to read the thread on the "Missing Chip Ethics Question" I recently had sort of a reverse problem. I purchased a chip from a dealer on E-bay who advertised the chip as new and had supposedly never seen table use. Upon its arrival it looked more like someone had been using it to fill a hole in the bottom of his shoe. I E-mailed the seller and only after a threat of E-mailing his other potential customers did I get a reply. I told him I would accept an exchange. I received no comment. I purchased the chip elsewhere and told him I wanted a refund. I returned the chip with letter requesting a same. I neglected to insure it [stupid me]. He claims he never received it and I suppose I have to accept this since I can't proove otherwise. The fact that his E-bay rating leaves a lot to be desired and the fact that the item shipped was not what it was made out to be leaves questions to be answered. Any opinions?
