    I really would hate to see what some seller's descriptions of poor would look like.


    Just purchased a model from someone describing it as 'excellent' condition, and the box described as 'good' condition.
    Pictures weren't the best, but the box was clearly badly sun-damaged, but the model itself looked OK.


    Turns up this morning, two bad paintwork dings, not mentioned anywhere in the description, which admittedly I found in the photos once I knew they were there....


    Having said that, it was still a good deal & the feedback reflected this. If I'd been feeling nasty I would have negged or neutraled....

    Seller's response:
    its a used item never listed as mint. you got a cheap loco

    Just bought a "brand new" hose, stock photos used. Arrived with water in it and packaging completely ripped. It was such a dishonest pee take that I have left only my second negative in 18 years.
