Hi Chucky -
The guy seems to have a reputation as a flake and yet you carried forward and spent money with him? And now you have a bad purchasing experience. Surprise?
What other outcome could have been expected? All the gnashing, videos, copies of email conversations, etc... is just a lot of drama.
This thread seems like a cry for attention on your part more than anything.
Feel free to flame me, but this is my knee-jerk opinion.
Or he's actually trying to tell other people why they should not buy a broken product. And then demonstrated why it is broken quite clearly. He purchased this 9 months ago when the seller was showing newly built pcbs, the part that he actually needed.
Unless you're specifically against telling others why they shouldn't buy a falsely advertised and deficient product?
