A Fair point DIMIS..and I am a stand up no BS strait shooter....so will address a fair rebuttal.
I will flick through a magazine with all due care to evaluate items of interest. If there is nothing of interest I will not purchase the product.
Much like looking at produce at the supermarket to see what it contains or conversely test driving a car you wish to purchase.
On the other hand though if the product contains items of interest I will pay my dues and purchase accordingly.... Am I not alone in those who have been duped into a frivolous purchase form packaging or a miss leading cover?
Clearly, I will not interrupt the integrity of a sealed product though. I believe this is why car dealers have demonstrator models.....
Anyhow, as conceded all are entitled to make a living and profit...it comes down to the marketing practices and protocols applied to the reasonable consumer via the reasonable vendor.
Evidently, this phenomenon is not something achieved if unscrupulous dealings occur on online Auctions
(I am not suggesting this for a minute in my experience...merely steering a course to set the thread back on bearing) ...so full disclosure, realistic reserve and vendor integrity should help facilitate a smooth transaction irrespective of the advertised media when vending your goods.
Just my thoughts ...No I am not bitter..much
Cheers Adam!
