I've been having a bit of trouble with someone who bought a bunch of capacitors from me. Don't worry it's not someone from head-fi . The sale happened through a Dutch site called marktplaats.nl, its our equivalent to gumtree. The caps I sold can be seen in this add. I used the same pictures.
I sold these caps to this guy and now he wants to return most of the items. He is saying that the leads on the caps are so short that he is unable to solder them to his pcb. He wants to return the 100uv 100v Elna caps, the Jantsen caps and the volume pots. Now in all honesty, I think he is being unreasonable. First of all, I am not denying the leads are short, but the caps are still usable. The Elna caps have short leads, of course they do. I used them. I had them on a pcb for a while. However, they are not short to the point that they are unusable. I am not saying its going to be a breeze soldering them but its not impossible. As for the larger Jantsen caps (which I previously used in a crossover) I think he is being really melodramatic, it is really easy to solder some wire to the leads if they are to short and connect them to a pcb that way. Last there are the volume pots. One of these has two solder lips cut short. Again, to me this does not make them unusable, there are still points to connect some wire to.
So, this guy wants a return. I told him 'no, I sold you usable materials, everything is is in working order, and as pictured'. The pictures I took are quite detailed so he should have noticed the short leads. Now here is the annoying part, this guy is actually claiming that I took the pictures in a way which makes the leads look longer. Also, throughout the entire transaction he never once wrote me a full sentence. When he got the package I immediately received a rude message from him. All of this just made me not want to accept his return. My suspicion is that he never acutely looked at the add properly. Now he's pissed because he spent money on things which he can't use the way he intended to use them and he is unwilling/unable to think of a solution that does not involve a return.
Anyway, thanks for reading my rant. I was just wandering what you people think of this situation. Would you have allowed him to return the items?
