When did you not get value for money?

An Epson Stylus Colour 600 printer I bought on ebay about 8 years ago, it had most of its insides stripped out and half a brick sitting in it, to give it some weight...

Forgot to mention that I did get a refund from ebay for the stylus printer, The guy I bought it from was a new seller and he quickly disappeared form ebay after that.

Even buying from seller with 100% feedback does not guarantee you that the item is alright. 3 Weeks ago I paid £399 for an iMac G5 that was supposed to be in perfect condition. However when i got it and opened it up to put in a bigger HD, I was shocked and amazed to find that where the HD should be was a tiny little 160GB laptop HD, stuck to the metal shielding with BROWN PARCEL TAPE. Its only took me about 5 days to get my money back after I complained to ebay & paypal and reported it to Trading Standards.

If your buying stuff off ebay you should only use paypal and as well as complaining to ebay report it to Trading Standards as well, it's a sure fire way to get your money back when you have been sold something dodgy.

And to recap - yes... I know the difference between costly and rip-off for the money. Value was the question here. ALL of the above I have a problem with. Very little "value" if any in todays goods, products and "services". Period. I frickin' HATE these times we're living in.

I agree with what you say, but strangely enough I actually enjoy the challenge of fighting back against 'these times we're living in'...
