dang son..... really all this. Id blast ur rear end if you did this to me in a public forum so quickly.why would u send it to someone not working or at least tell him it needs a battery? Not siding with either party, but the fact that it's a laser range finder should imply it needs a battery...

In the meantime, an administration official claims 2 years worth of emails were "misplaced". When pressed, she exclaimed "stuff happens"...

I'll side with 'transaip 1961' on this one. Money back guarantee but if you send it back --- I'll ruin your name.

Since it was new, I assume it came with instructions. Did page one say something like, "insert batteries"? Seems like a lack of communication my he been the culprit here.

I sold him a new , working Leica range finder and he said it didn't work-a lie. He is to stupid to but a battery in it and hold down the button till it reflects back..He got his money back, but if I had known, I wouldn't have sold it to him Suck it up and be a man. Being responsible is part of selling. You lost nothing.

Reelhook,
If you sold him a range finder it should be in working order..
If you removed the batteries you should have told him.
If there is a certain procedure to use when installing batteries you should have advised him.
Calling someone out should be a last resort .

Kinda funny how these things turn into the internet equivalent of Suni vs. Shia.
I sold some guy a shotgun choke tube last week and I think I communicated better with him over a $13 item than these guys.

Not enough info for anyone to take sides.... if new and new in box,, it came with a battery and instructions! It isn't very often you see an electronic device with the battery pre installed and/or without instructions!
And on the other hand if it wasn't new..... well!
Looks to me like the item was sold to someone not knowing how it worked, unable to or not wanting to check on-line to see how it worked, and your out some $30+ in shipping charges.
Most likely its just lack of communication on both sides, and probably could have been easily worked out! But instead......

There was good communication on this transaction. I received the unit and it looked new. I read the instruction manual and tried two new batteries. I could not get the I unit to respond. He recommended I contact Leica, which I did. I spoke to one of their repair techs. Reelhook offered to pay the repair costs up to the purchase price less $20. The Leica tech said the rangefinder was 10 years old and they did not have any repair parts so it could not be repaired. I let Reelhook know about this and I said it may be better if I would just return the rangefinder for a refund. He agreed to this so I paid for the shipping and sent it back to him. I did not think there were any problems until he sent me an e-mail and pm calling me a liar, which I am not. I am out the shipping and he is out the shipping costs, which were about $12. I guess this post is his way of getting even with me for returning an item I could not get to work.

Murphy.... sounds like another call-out thread to maybe back-fire, kind of like car breaking down, call the mechanic, and the damn thing starts right up!

Why didn't you put batteries in it to begin with? Looks to be unethical on your part to offer money back policy and then [bleep] on him when he wants his money back. not sticking up for the op, you are not suppose to ship batteries via usps, but a lot of people ship ammo with out hazmat so whatever

almost all call out threads end the same, just an FYI for those who might think it's a good idea in the future.
