Misleading eBay Auction

[Brad]

Just a heads up - the photos in this auction are not of the actual lamp being sold.  The seller posted a few images from the internet of what appears to be a pink giant or heritage grande when they are actually selling a small china lamp.  Many of us could sniff this one out a mile away, but I just want to be sure nobody gets screwed!

HAH, they even use the same image twice for show. What a confused seller, they go on to list the base and cap as black too.

[Brad]

Also note the section it's listed in. They were a bit combative as well when confronted about the "error."

There are at least three different lamps pictured!

Go get 'em, Brad.  :>)

[Brad]

it's the least i can do after being screwed once before!

I reported it to ebay as if it will do any good.  Thanks for the heads up Brad!

[Brad]

nice!  i did the same because this person is obviously trying to fool people into buying their junk lamp.

well i'll be.  looks like they ended the auction early and created a new one with actual photos of the lamp.  looks OK, but somehow it acquired a small dent between yesterday and today

HAH! Wow they did get somewhat defensive in their replies over the old listing. Serves them right for being shady, nice job on the call out!

It's always good to call out monkeys like this.  Nothing sucks more than your new lamp arriving and it's not what was described.  

The sellers Lucky Brad that you got to him first. I may not have been as polite.

Thanks for the heads up.

i can't stand people like this, so it's no problem.
