I bought something from a very popular cel- and 
stuffdealer. This something, as I found out once 
it was too late, is KNOWN and feared by users to 
KILL the thing it's being used for, usually 
without doing what it is supposed to do (like, 
aspirine kills you without healing your headache 
and even if it doesn't kill you, it won't heal 
your headache, get the picture?). 
Now, I do like shopping there as they have 
interesting items. But this sooooo pisses me 
off!!! A seller should know what he's selling, 
and WARN ppl, before having them buy that thing, 
ruin their $200-device by using it (strictly 
according to instructions); he should tell them 
that risks are involved.
It wasn't a cel, but it was still money (anything 
beyond $10 is money). And the device it ruined 
was $199. Not something you can ruin and replace 
everyday.

I really want to [beep], but on the other hand, I 
want to continue shopping at his online shop. His 
service is very nice, and so are his items. But 
he did lure me into ruining something very 
important. So much so that I'd trade my stupid 
dog for a new one, no questions asked. But nobody 
wants that mutt, so... problem?

Now my $199 device... only functions when I give 
it a hard, but "carefully measured" (<--not my 
strong point) punch, which may one day ruin it 
for good. The warranty is screwed by applying 
the "thing" I bought. That device was my one and 
only visual entertainment if you don't count the 
PC. Now it's working shifts with my punching bag.

And, I want my money back on one hand, but I 
don't feel like paying for shipping that stupid 
thing on the other hand.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to settle 
this?

Thanks
Anna
