Oh no, the Plasma screen arrived cracked!

Getting my money back now!

Maybe I should of gone for a projector!

I think getting your money back is the best possible outcome in this scenario. For a little more than £110 I am sure you could do much better locally. With items such as this it is always safer to see before you buy.
I am using a 32" LG HD TV for visuals. Suits my purpose and available room. I have a little used BenQ Projector which I would sell if you want to go that route. PM me if interested.

What a pain. Did you have any problem getting a refund or did the seller try it on?

Hi Buddy,

Called company today and they said that will get either a replacement telly out to me or offer a refund. Either way it was no quibble. I will get a call tomorrow.

What is it with ebay, there's always something wrong with something you buy, never straight forward.

Although, Iv'e just bought a new Piaggio scooter from ebay and it is mint!

Hi Alex
Hope you don't think I was being forward answering in your thread re the TV you bought. Be very careful there. Why not check your local papers and see what is in the small ads. Many people upgrade their TVs and then they find they can't get rid of their old one - you could pick up a bargain plus you could see it working before parting with the cash!
I only mentioned the projector I have in case you really wanted to go that way. It is sitting unused in my room (I used it for watching movies before simming really got me)
I will get around to putting it in the classifieds someday!

Maybe my Spidey Senses are tingling for no reason but -
A) How will they send a replacement when the tv you bought seemed a one off?
B) Why didn't they refund today rather than "call you tomorrow"?
I am a suspicious old git (especially with Ebay)...

Hi Allan / Bill

Well a replacement is out of the question so they have agreed to a full refund!

I have just got to bin the smashed telly now, because guess what, they dont want to pay for me to send it back, its cheaper for me to bin it!

Bill: I will send you a pm at some point regarding the projector, sounds like a beamer is the best alternative.

Cheers. Alex

You are well away from that deal Alex. Glad it worked out Ok for you. Maybe a beamer would suit you better but there are a lot of things to consider before taking that route.
