Scammer,,or Ignorant?
Here is the Deal.
I buy on e-bay from time to time,,,always looking for a deal,,,well sometimes I too get taken. I purchased this lot of 4 as good solid Triangle points.The picture the guy had was a Bit decieving to say the least. When I got these in yesterday,,,All four are broke pieces of arrowheads,.So I e-mail the guy asking for a re-fund,,,His response,, "Those are complete Arrowheads,,,thats the way "Arrowheads are supposed to be." Very laughable ![]() I know the bottom line to buying on e -bay,,"Know the seller",, But my question is,,,Are people Really this Stupid?? ![]() Oh well glad I am getting it off my chest. The second picture is some brokes from my last dig,,,Ya think I could sell them as good artifacts and still be able to sleep at night?,,,Not hardly ///cThe guy even insured this crap,,,Idiot!

Looks and sounds like a scam to me. Ask for other pictures and angles before you buy and only deal with 30 day refund periods. Jmo.

You are sure right. When I get myself in a bind,,,it usually at the end of a Bidding period and I take a chance with something. It was kinda worth $10.00 just to hear the guy tell me that "This is the way arrowheads are suppose to be" Very Funny. I am tempted to send him a picture or two of some good artifacts and educate the sorry SOB,,,or ask him,,"Just how big a Boy are ya"?//lol ///c

I think the guy probably knows he's wrong.
I got suckered on my very first e-bay experience about 10 years or so ago. Never even considered buying anything else again. |

Hesitance from any seller to show extra pics and different angles is imo a good indication that something is wrong, a red flag. Alot of times you see fuzzy pics or angles that don't show problem areas, on purpose.

Also, report him to Ebay and let them know he is selling broken artifacts a complete pieces.

Well,,The guy was pretty sneaky.
Stating that his Picture showed the condition of the artifacts,,,and did not out and out state they were 100%.I told him I would do all of the above,,,Report him,,,Give a negative feed back,and he told me to go right ahead and do that,,,almost like Negative attention is better than no attention in his life. I would love to talk to his wife for about 30 Min.,,,,But she Probably left him years ago. Makes me feel sorry for people like this,,,but I'm the one out 10 bucks/lol Just kinda pisses me off,,,that People can be so dishonest. The funny thing is I know better,,,Just trying to give the benifit of the doubt. Just because Budda and I go way back,,, does not mean every one else lives by the same standards as I do. Any who thanks for listening to me Whine///c

Look at the bright side...
You only paid $10 to learn a good lesson, be thankful it wasnt $100 or $1000.
