All,
I had a very back experience with a recent dealings I had from a "semi-reputable" game store.
I purchased the Gembloux II item from an auction on ebay that advertised the picture of the "New 8" x 22" GEO Board!" on the op of the cover and the "ASLG2" in black letters on a white background in the lower left corner of the cover.
Well, when I opened my mail today to see what had arrived, low-and-behold, I had a Gembloux II module in a sealed ziplock bag with the following info on the cover at the top; "UVillage 8" x 11" overlay edition" and the info in the lower left corner that read, "GEM2UVIL" in black letters on a white background.
Deceptive advertising?
Maybe they don't realize what they have to auction?
Or is this some trick to get folks cash?
I even asked if this was the "New Map edition" and got a reply from the company (through) ebay that this was in fact the map edition and there was one inside.
So was I "told a false truth"?
Was there a BIG mistake on whoever did the confirmation for this company?
I will be sending the item back to the store for a full refund, but I have also sent email with what the auction was that I bidded on, what the auction displayed as a picture and what I actually received.
I am alerting all that if they ever bid on an auction, please ask to verify what is being sold and then ask for a confirmation. It may help in the long run.
Oh, you can't blame CH on this one.
I was going to give the UVillage module I had to the Austin Team Tournament Director to place in the "Prize Pool" because of the New map item I was suppoesed to receive.
I found the CH1 map for sale, so I ordered that because I was missing it.
"Buyer Beware" on anything......
Thanks for listening to my rant......
