In your PM you said you wanted this to die, I guess you really don't.

You're right, I had plenty of chance to look at the lathe. I, and my friends at the track, thought it had more use than you stated, but you said you really needed a charger and PS so I went ahead with the trade because you seemed like a nice kid. Remember I asked you why you didn't just keep the charger you were using and you replied that you had already sold it to someone? I was trying to get out of the deal gracefully. I felt really stupid when I saw 3 days later that you had it for sale on ebay and this site trying to make a hefty profit. One thing I didn't do at the track was run the lathe. Had I, I would have never gone through with the trade. When I finally did run the lathe at home, a terrible grinding noise came out. I replaced the motor and still grinding. I went to the LHS and bought some new bearings and put them in the lathe and the grinding went away. Did I post negative comments in the feedback forum? No, because it was my fault. I had the opportunity to run the lathe and I didn't. Was it right that you stated the lathe as new condition, only 1 month old, and only about 10 to 15 cuts on it? NO! When you posted the well used charger and PS that I traded to you on the forums as practically new and stating you had only used them once, did I post saying that you were lying? NO! I admit they were in great shape, but practically new, yeah right!!

When I saw you post these cells for sale, did I post that your soldering skills were terrible? NO! Remember your cells at the track with the terrible solder joints. I gave you advice on how to properly solder the cells, what type of iron you should get, and how there is lots of information on the internet on how to solder packs to try to help you out. At least you listened to that.

In your PM you stated that it is the buyer's responsibility to find out if the soldering job is good. But, you forgot to mention that it is the seller's responsibility to accurately represent items that are for sale. You have proven to me that you have a habit of exaggerating the quality and value of your items for sale. You told me that the solder joints are flawless, but I know that you don't have enough experience to know what a flawless solder joint is.

In your previous post you state, "i sell things, and try to put as much honesty as i can...", but inflating the quality of items and stating jacked up new prices is not being honest, it is lying. In your PM to me you admitted jacking up the price too high and that you only paid $65 a pack for these cells, so why did you say they cost $80 new? I replied to your PM with a PM because you didn't want this thread to continue, but then you post here bashing me about items in my PM to you.

Like I said in my PM, what you do on this site reflects on you as a person.
