I was recently looking to trade my AquaIllumination Prime HD for another LED fixture that would be better fitting for my new tank.
Username -- Lonnie PM'd me with an offer to trade me a non-HD Aqua Illumination Hydra 52. We talked over details, what shipping company we'd use etc, and came to a deal. Even trade, we'd both ship through USPS, and everything should have been good.
Well today I got the light, and at first I wasn't very concerned besides that I just needed to have her remove the AI Director from her account, because I wasn't able to control it otherwise. Then I started looking at the light closer, and quickly realized it was an AI Hydra, not a 52. I quickly wrote her about it, confused obviously. And she still, swears it is a 52, and that's what her local fish store sold it to her as.
Well, the back of the light clearly says AI Hydra (no 52), and the big indicator that I should have just simply asked to seen via pictures, is there's not 52 LED's. My mistake, but I guess my trusting nature got the best of me.
I've asked her to just swap lights back, because the light she sent me is a definitive downgrade as the lenses on this fixture are awful, and the Prime, even though not large enough, still was more visually appealing.
She has no interest in swapping the lights back clearly, and says at this point I'm just "nip picking" and she's "done" trying to help me. The issue is, she never really helped and all she did was send me the wrong light. She's either confused, the LFS lied to her, or she's just a scammer.
Any moderators have any kind of recommendation on what I should do here? There was no payment or anything involved so I can't do a paypal or credit card claim.
Any help would be appreciated.
