Buyer Beware

Bought a used phone from Halm, Pixel 2 For Sale

He does not fully disclose stuff.

He failed to inform me how quickly the item would arrive or how ridiculously well he would pack it.

Yeah it came with all the stuff he said it would like an unopened package of screen protector, unopened case in box, extra case, extra charging cable and the phone in it's ALMOST original packaging with all the original accessories and paper work.

The glaring omission, the original shrink wrap, he did not include the original shrink wrap.

Who does that and does not disclose it?



Thanks Hal, awesome transaction. Appreciate it.

Considering how the less truthful guys send stuff out in counterfeit shrink wrap I think you are better not getting any of it.

There are two sides to these disputes........i'll wait for Halm to explain why the original shrink wrap was omitted before judging. It's only fair.

Just in case no one gets it, Buyer Beware means you're expectations will be exceeded which these days is sadly all too rare.

Hal's a good bloke.

Handshake guy, and a mensch, which are two of the highest forms of praise in my lexicon.

Monkey - it's all your fault - you asked for it.
Everyone knows the rule of purchasers is buyer beware.
You should have gotten a PPI!
