Hi irbyma, congrats on her arrival, she is very pretty. I will say this again and again as I learned the hard way, Allways ask a seller for more detailed photos as obviously you couldn't tell all the wear she has by the photos. More importantly, have you looked at her underside, is it cracked or torn around the battery compartment and on the bottoms of her feet and legs, those are the places that go bad qucikly but not allways seen, usally people hide those areas in photos and many people use what are called, "stock" photos that is not the actual photo of the actual pleo. I never bid on a Pleo that I can't see every detail , such as the neck, face, battery compartment, tail and feet. (One pleo I returened, looked perfect and was advertised as Like New. I could not see anything wrong with the pleo in the photos and bid something like $140.00 on it,( complete, box, manual, ID card, leaf, battery, charger, etc.) it worked fine but to my horror when opening it up, it had a TOE missing off one of the back feet, ( on the inside where you could not see it in the photos) I filed a complaint and got my money back, and the seller got the Pleo back.( The seller got angry though and blocked me from buying from him again and the Pleo was resold to someone else who didn't see what it looked like.... : I would say that Pleo was definillty overpriced and what I would do, ( Unless you are totally in love with her already...which is understandable...
) is to ask for a total refund and buy one from the Taiwan seller, or get a reduction and partial refund. But first check out the rest of the body to make sure there are no more areas of damage..
If you want a refund, make sure you do it officialy through Paypal though and don't just negotiate with the seller.The seller does not want negative feedback and that is what he will get if he does not cooperate. You need to file what is called: Item not as described case. Oh, btw, why does your dad think I am "insane"?
is it because I have nine cats or because of all my Pleos, or because I am a die hard LA Dodger fan and collect baseball cards or because I collect Gunsmoke memorbillia, and have seen every episode of Gunsmoke which ran for 20 years, over 620 episodes....and I can go on an on about my "crazy insane" things I do, according to some people, but at the same time, I will never ever drive a car!
How about the fact I was homeless after quitting my teaching job to move to Montana to live with my sister, and when I realized how cold it would be in the Winters there and how far I woud have to walk to get into town where work is, ( because I do not drive and there was no public transportation back then...) that I left my daughter in Montana with my olders sister while I came back to the Redwoods to find work, and our two dogs were brought back by my brother in law, and I was homeless but spent over $300.00 a month to board them out while I looked for work. ? Is that insane, or loving your animals, My animals allways come before me, I will feed them before myself all the time.
