I fully agree. I purchased a "tested and working" A3000D from Airey a year or two back. I realised the same day that the A3000D was faulty as it wouldn't recognise any of my Zorro cards, so I immediately contacted him to report the problem and to arrange return of the item.
His response was basically he knows nothing about the Zorro Bus on the Amiga, and as I had opened the case I obviously caused the damage myself, and if I decided to open a dispute with ebay he would be contesting it on those grounds.
So the moral of the story if you buy anything from Airey, especially Big Box Amiga's then asume it's not been fully tested, and if you do find a fault leaky battery whatever never admit to opening the case as he will only use that as an excuse with eBay why he shouldn't accept return of the item
I've bought bits and bats off him in the past. Never anything significant though as it's obvious to me he knows nothing about Amiga's. I'm just glad he finally bought a better camera last year as his ebay photo's used to be %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!e.
I don't have any complaints about him though, I'm happy with the things I've bought from him.
