I let it go the first 2 times, but now another sale thread pops up with items I just sold to the seller. Not a big deal, except that I was given a sob story that they didn't have money to pay full price or they just lost their job, etc....... Now the parts are listed for 2 to 3 times the price they just bought them for. That is a very shady practice and it is going to make me think twice about giving anybody a deal anymore.

the only issue i really see with this is the "sob story" If people want to buy and sell that fine in my book. I do that all the time. But I agree, don't tell someone your dog died and you have to pay for his funeral, so you can only offer half price. just makes you look bad when you turn around and try to tell for 2x the price.

I guess just take mental notes of who you will and won't sell to in the future.

I buy and sell too, but I don't resell items I just bought off of the forums. I also don't cook up a story to get things for free. I even offer to buy my items back for the same price and the sellers refuse. So it is not like they need cash fast. Some of these parts were even taken off of or out of my own personal Impulses. I am definately keeping a list of these people for future reference.

that's a shame.  Sorry to hear that people are doing that.  I for one really appreciate your generous and sharing personality.  The rip valve you sent me is great and they can't be found anywhere still.  Don't expect to see the one you sent going up for market.  Thanks again.  It's always a shame when the ability to trust in people is chipped at.  Hope this doesn't happen anymore!

I appreciate you. You have been responsible for getting my gameface up to snuff. The bad news is I tried to actually shoot balls through it and the vision doesn't work.  That's ebay aholes for ya.

Yes.  I just put the bad photoeye on my rat and it didn't see either.  Looks like a bad photoeye.

Try cleaning the contacts on the ribbon with a clean pencil eraser.  Could be some grease messing the contacts.
