I can only imaginge how many times kpt6 has done this to other vendors online now. Great way to get free products.
Look through my posts and see how many times I've done this to vendors then. I have $ dude. That's not the issue here. It's selling misrepresented goods.

3) He could have easily been referring to his ARC replicas. As far as everyone knows, the one you have is legitimate. He is selling ARC replicas now, technically still an "ARC" product.

4) Because he sold it to you two months ago, you could easily send back a fake or what not. It doesn't matter if he can resell it. He's a vendor and doesn't want to put up with your bull**** as an extra hassle.

I've never dealt with them personally and I don't know who is truly at fault here, however, the details provided thus far it really seems like you are being paranoid or attempting to scam. They have done nothing that appears sketchy to me except maybe take a little too long to get you things which, when considering vendors as a whole, is very common.

If there is some break in this case and new information comes to light actually PROVING that what you have is fake and they scammed you, then I sincerely apologize for all of this. However, thus far, this is a bull**** argument. Bring in some hard evidence or stop trying to scam.

EDIT: maybe find some body with an older real ARC knob and compare -- as long as ARC never changed their design/material when they actually existed...
Will respond later- I've got to take care of some things right now.

your "second guessing" took over 60 days...

Nowhere did I say the second guessing took 60 days.

From my original post:
"I'm already feeling this is a squirrelly deal" -- okay so you had a strange 'feeling'... you bought it off of craigslist, it'd be odd NOT to feel slightly sketched out. But you did not say anything about the validity of the knob at that time, you said nothing about its integrity until 60+ days later.

I believe the vendor meant that they would refund the money until they found out that it was outside of their refund policy.

Or am I reading this whole thread wrong?
