MiguelVP,
The simple fact remains that he listed it as a new product when it was used.The
disclaimer does not absolve him of this issue no matter how hard you try to argue your point.Please go read the Ebay terms of service before arguing any further.
Had he not
Misrepresented it Siglent would have never bothered with his listing.
Ebay has those listing categories for a reason,would you not be upset if you ordered something from Ebay in Germany that was listed by ebay as new yet you get it and its clearly been used?Would you not argue that the seller was wrong for listing a used product in a "new" category?
If I translated that disclaimer into Bulgarian word for word or used Google translate it would not give you the slightest clue as to it being used and that is how Sigilent made this mistake.It was listed as NEW disclaimer or not it was incorrect.
You go on to argue about price fixing,yet you you're quite ignorant to things.Every company is allowed to set a minimum advertised price or MAP and they are within their rights to take
some actions against people selling below the min advertised pricing that they've set for their products.Usually they will stop selling to them,hence why they asked for the serial number.Selling a new product on Ebay bellow MAP is almost always against companies policies because it is a publicly advertised price.If you want to sell new products of reputable companies below the MAP you have to do it out the back door so to speak if you wish to continue to have your orders filled from the company.I sell tons of products below MAP but I advertise to stop in and see me or to contact us for the best pricing possible and it is not a issue because it's my right to do so.A minimum advertised pricing structure is not price fixing no matter how much you claim it is.Although this is a moot point because he incorrectly listed a USED product yet you seem to think that Siglent wanted to control him for selling their used gear in some way and it is truly laughable
As far as all the conspiracies you've thrown at me go,the one that is truly the elephant in the room here is how easily it could have been to get Siglent to misread a mislabeled add.Its truly convenient timing with when the add was placed and the CEO's visit was advertised on the blog here.Factor in the Ex employees email address being used it truly does stink some
Then the shit storm that ensued with false allegations of price fixing to get everyone riled up etc etc.It honestly wouldnt have taken much knowledge other then knowing they where looking for gray market products on ebay to bait them with a mislabeled add close to their MAP price,or a conection to the former employee.I mean he did initially list it @ $900 and that is VERY close to the MAP pricing but I think the
Facts are enough here to speak for themselves.There's no need to bring up ex employees email being used by someone who is known to have quite a few questionable dealings on the internet associated with him
