Pete,
That could be, but these days is anyone buying on ebay really that naive to let an unsatisfactory transaction go outside the 90 day window of resolution? 3 months is a long time. If I didn't get what I paid for inside of 1 month, I'd be up PayPal/Ebays ass with a flashlight looking for my refund. And if that didn't fly I'd be on the horn with my card issuer arranging a chargeback on the basis of a fraudulent transaction.
Nobody needs 3 months plus to get it right selling on ebay. And if one does need that much time (as the seller) then you've clearly misrepresented your wares. So, a refund needs to be cheerfully given and the item resold and then sell later when it can actually be delivered promptly. 90 days of excuses without action taken as a buyer? No way, no how.
I just find it hard to believe he can find that many suckers who will get strung along until he can give them the big kiss off with no consequence. A seller outside the country may get some more leeeway from me since there are always shipping and customs clearance delays. But, maybe I underestimate the capacity for idiocy.
And 3 SE-99'S? Yeah, they're pretty rare. Even more so with the light pen or wired remote. I have three fully working and equipped units here after 2 decades of active, concentrated collecting. Have two more as parts units as the florescent display panels have an unfortunate habit of breaking the internal filament wires, making the displays worthless.
Someday maybe I'll engineer a replacement from LED's, but that's a long way off with other more pressing project in the pipeline. Until then, those units are boat anchors.
Enough with that digression, however.
