floor model? pfft, who believes anything they say......... people in electronics run certain scams, here are just a few, typically ones who go out of their way to explain the reason behind the sale is a way to spot a deal to stay away from..

1. rebates
They get the item from wholesale and remove the upc and sell the item
and then cash in the refund, they make typically 50 bucks.
you get stuck with no warranty, no box, and no support

2. Dealers reselling returned items... Typically these may be broken items
or perhaps scratched or whatnot, if your a chronic complainer, they say sorry they dont refund, and you have to go thru the MFG replacement RMA service system..
This saves them the headache of the 15% restocking fee's etc, and typically get the
same price as new item, leaving you the headache

3. Power sellers have many ebay accounts, they will sell like mad on an account, then open a new one... when they have a mass load of crap to get rid of they waste an account to sell off this junk, the neg feedback wont bother then because they
are closing that account when all junk is sold off.

4. refurbished items, older beginning models that are now crap sold as new or
whatever




Feel like your getting burned after paypal payment?
It don't hurt to file a complaint, if no communication was received
you have 30 days to do so.. I suggest you wait 10 days, this way if he is honest he sent it already..... if he isnt, it will get his ass in gear, if he does not respond to the
complaint within 10 days you get your money back no questions asked. Worst that will happen is he will send you rude email, COMPLAINT?!?!?! big deal... he wont neg feedback you unless he's a newb, cuz you can then neg feedback him...
just say you were being caution...

no matter what you bought with paypal always when making complaint, choose GOODS NOT RECIEVED< non tangilbe goods will be auto closed complaints because there is no way paypal can track or confirm product shipped
