i just returned an exclusive wlverine comiquette to the ebay seller
E-Store_Auctions
and the guy was a complete a--hole to me.
first off, before i bought the statue, i made sure that everything was minty... 'straight claws, no flaws, no damage, and only removed once for pics' was his response. i asked him to wrap the statue in white tissue paper and tape along the seams of the carton to avoid any damage or paint rubs and he agreed.
so i covered my bases, right?
wrong.
the pics show exactly how it arrived... horribly bent claws, a chipped right shoulder, and paint rubs galore. i should not that the carton wasn't taped and there was nothing between the statue and the foam. wait, it gets better... the base had tape residue and silver overspray in multiple spots. honestly, it looked like a 10-year-old repainted the base with spray paint.
anyways, the guy immediately starts claiming that i swithed statues AND bases on him . i had to remind him that the bases are numbered and showed him how torn up the foam was.
in the end he reluctantly refunded my money, but told me that it would be relisted with the same description because 'bent claws aren't considered damage, especially on this piece' . he also went on to say that he couldn't confirm whether or not the base was repainted, making his 'removed once for pics' statement b.s.
so, watch out for thiss a--hat, because he basically admitted to giving a false description
