WOW you too - i wish people would ask more questions. Please do see my post to him. It is very very obvious what he did here by removing the screws and turning the brains upside down. There was NO way to use it. Hence why he can have it back and see l it to the next person. i do not doubt that the unit works - HOWEVER I do not want to pay 310 for something i have to play around with because someone was trying to be cute on a sale.
Thank you for playing devils advocate. The unit was sealed perfectly and everything looked great till I opened the box. It was not what i had anticipated. The first thing i did notice was the front screen was off - no biggie they fall off all the time. However, to notice all four screws were missing was my first red flag and that is when i emailed him. The rest is history.
You just showed up to the thread, don't be offended by comments prior to your explanation. Unfortunately your post/messages doesn't really prove anything. Someone made a mistake or is not being truthful here though.
Your first message sent to him was that the entire unit came disassembled. Or did it only come with the bottom screws missing and you took the cover off and messed around inside? Your statements do not add up.
My screen name is Da Ghost and i have post below. I have never scammed anyone and have no intention of that. The item came in a condition that i did not expect. Please read through the other posts to see what I am talking about.
The bottom screws were missing please read my screen shots. if you know Trident once you remove the four screws two things happen. the unit warranty is void and the top cover literally will not stay on. for those of you who own one you know exactly what i am talking about. The brains inside are literally upside down. I did try to give him an out and say maybe it happened in transit - However again for those of you who own one you know the inside cannot turn 180 degrees unless you manually move it (period) AND I did not manually move - it arrived to me in that condition.
They side with the buyer 99.9% of the time. I watched several videos on youtube by a guy that was going thru a scam. He sold close to $4k in sports cards to a guy. The guy filed for a refund claim with paypal before the package was even delivered. Paypal sided with the buyer even though the seller had all kind of evidence he had been scammed. The person had paid with a credit card thru paypal and the last video I saw he was able to get the credit card company to agree it was a scam and they were going to give the seller his money back. Unfortunately the seller had to spend many hours fighting something that was obviously a scam.
Removing the bottom screws do not void the warranty. Neptune sells a DIY Service Kit which requires you to disassemble nearly the entire to complete it. My used trident came with this kit and I serviced it myself. Either way the unit is past the factory warranty so not sure why that even matters and I'm pretty sure the warranty is not transferable to a second buyer. Also, the top cover stays on fine with out the screws, when servicing my unit it was a struggle to release the tension and remove the top cover up and out of the way.
I have spoken up and i will continue to speak up. I have ZERO to hide. The unit was shipped without the four screws, the unit was missing the screw on lids and the other 3d printed items. The units brains were literally UPSIDE DOWN. I could NOT plug the unit in PERIOD. Maybe it turned in transit, BUT i seriously doubt that and take it rather personal as I have never duped anyone on this board and have bought many items.
