Got fleeced by fellow FFNer on GoPro Hero2 camera purchase

That's why you never buy a used car without dealer warranty. Usually if they don't have dealer warranty on it, it means it will break down within 6 months. And if it was a private party transaction, well I personally would never even consider that route.

What is the suggested retail value of the camera? How much did you pay? If you paid way under retail then quit bitching. Live by these words, you get what you pay for.

If the camera works thats the main part, the housing is cheap and if you need a head strap they are from $5 on eBay. Im sure if you contacted him before you posted this he would have worked with you. There no way to actually say what happen, learn from this and move on, tight lines.

The retail value is irrelevant if there was no fraud or deceit. If the seller believed that the camera was complete and in working order, nothing untoward occurred. There is nothing in this post suggesting that the price was high for the purported value. We often overlook the important kernel of truth that lies at the heart of the issue and focus on emotional and irrelevant detritus surrounding it. This is unfortunate and results in too many disagreements. It also plays a large part in the inability to solve many of our national political and social problems. There is no middle ground seen by people trying to resolve these issues. It also leads to much of the intolerance we see in society. Lastly, with all these contentious opinions being aired in public on this board, we lose sight of the fact that it's very possible that both parties are telling the truth to the best of their understandings of the details of the sale.

Just saying...

In all honesty, I don't think he used any "big words". He just wrote correctly in English. If any of those words were "big" to some, perhaps there is an education issue involved...

My intent wasn't to impress anyone. Neither was it to denigrate anyone. Sometimes the clearest way to get to the heart of the matter is to use precise words. Sometimes they are multisyllabic. Sorry...

If he is a youngin, and he grew up in SoCal, education issue is a pretty safe assumption.
