I bought a "genuine A590 power supply ! Very hard to find  !!"..  Thats what the eBay ad said.

I only had a converted A500 pwr supply on my A590 so I got it at only $30 AU a good price..

It turned up...  you guessed it,  a converted A500 power supply.  When I quizzed the guy he basically replied:
How was he to know it wasn't genuine!, but it works and it's your bad luck.  
I had asked the question on the listing but he didn't reply.  His ID was private.. Yes my bad.. Should have been a warning to me.

It took a week of back and forth but when I threatened arbitration he agreed to give me a discount of $15.00.
Then another week and a bit passed and another threat before the money appeared in my account.

Yes its hardly worth it for $15 but people who obviously take advantage of others need to be pulled up.  I don't see him on ebay any more..(at least by his old name)

when I opened it up it appeared he had taken a hammer to it's insides. ICs shattered, pcb full of holes, etc. He even scratched "f*ck you" on the inner surface of the case. Dude must have jammed a screw driver in the floppy drive a few times, total whack-o

Every other ebay experience, flawless.



Remineds me of a joke..

My Wintel computer once beat me at chess..
But it was no match for me at baseball.. :-o
