AggieDave 6 #1 June 26, 2003 Yup. The camera that I got (PC-1) is DOA, same for the battery that came with it. I guess I owe beer since this is the first time I've been burned on e-bay, BUT I've started to take action. I contacted the seller (who sold it as working) and told him. I filed claim on e-bay and did all the stuff they said to do. If that doesn't work out, I'm going to call his local district attorny's office and file fraud charges on him. So, moral of the story is, if I don't get my money back, I'm going to get his ass in a bind with the law. Since it was interstate business, that puts him in more of a bind too. I'm an evil SOB when you piss me off, and I'm pissed off, so this is going to be fun!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

If it isn't REAL jacked up, as it was explained to me, they will get it back to factory condition for that price.
