Silk lot auction

In recent transactions buying magic props, gimmicks, from eBay sellers. I have been shocked at all the garbage that is being sold. More so the way that some of the sellers act and operate there businesses. In this instance I was bidding on a lot of silks, there were supposed to be 12 silks in very good condition. What arrived was very different. For starters there were only 8, also the silks that came were stained and some torn and one of the silks that arrived was a woman's scarf. This goes above and beyond "item arrived not as described". Honestly I believe that this seller, who is a Magic dealer sent the wrong number intently due to the low auction ending. As a dealer finding 4 replacement silks should be an easy task, but this seller still refuses and offers a partial refund. This to me shows there intention from the end of the auction. Thus the bad business practice and the reason for this guide.  Please do yourself a favor and purchase your items from your local magic dealer, I have been burned to many times to count buying magic from eBay. This was the final straw! Its to bad that a couple of bad sellers ruin the reputations of the good. But personally the reason for going to eBay in the first place was to acquire the items cheeply, and in the end I was left with more headache and trouble as well as out of pocket expense than if i just bit the bullet and shop ed locally. Good luck... Folinco Fine Magic should be banned from eBay . I am ashamed to call myself a magician if I am compared to guys like this. Stop doing the magic community a dis service

THE QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF WOULD YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE WHO TALKS TO THERE CUSTOMERS LIKE THIS... KEEP READING.

 

NEW UPDATE!!!

In trying to resolve this matter with this seller, I have gotten less than horrible customer service. I cant even imagine talking to any one like this let alone a customer.Take a look for your self.

You are an idiot if you think that with over 1400 sales I woujld hold back 4 crappy silks. like I said, it's always the cheap son's of bi**hes looking for a "deal" tat cause trouble. Not the collectors who spend thousands of dollars. Fortunately I caught this before going to the post office Tuesday. Return the silks to me. You're not getting any more and you are banned from buying form me as well as 10 other dealers on eBay. I will proceed to seek damages you have caused by your libelous little write up about 4 crappy silks. You are not a magician, You are a wanna be hobbyist and you should be ashamed of yourself.
 
You are a hysterical little amateur and i've already reported you to eBay. Seems like you have a history of this bull**it. Try socializing some time. Learn how to get along with people instead of being a whiny little bi**h. Don't be ashamed to call yourself a magician because you are not. You're a bargain-hunting piece of crap. Do us all a fu**ing favor and do shop locally you moron.
