want a good reason to not be cheap....

[waverz]

I bought a used ACII, the guy that shipped it shipped the probes dry, now they are toast. Think ill get my money back? Ill bet not, but well see.........

So if i have to buy new probes it would have spent just as much for a new ACIII.

Quite honestly, if the probes were much over a year old, they really should be replaced anyway. How much did you pay for it?

 

[waverz]

I payed $240 shipped.......

Man if you need to replace probes and lights every year it really starts to turn into a very expensive habit...er hobby.

 

[Coralfreak]

Wow, that is kinda high for a used AC2, did you get anything else with it besides the probes. You dont HAVE to replace them every year, you SHOULD, there's a difference(Its recommended to replace them every 12-18months I believe). I ran my last pH probe for almost 5 years..lol It still calibrated fine, so I saw no reason to replace it.

Just ask him to send you a partial payback for 100. have you tried the probes? Or just file a paypal claim.

 

[leeweber85]

wow, how stupid was he? since he sold you a deffective product I think he should refund part of the money, otherwise I would probably at least file a paypal claim.

i got the modem and cable with it.....no DC box though, definetly should have waited on a better deal but wanted it NOW!

Thatll learn me for being impatient.

He hasnt responded to my PM yet if he dont i guess ill file a paypal claim....i think the least he could do is pay for 1/2 for new probes.

 

[leeweber85]

that's not so bad of a deal if you got the modem/cable with it. Did you get an ORP probe too?

 

[waverz]

yup, its also toast.........

 

[sgarrett1108]

When the ac3 came out I think you could have traded the ac2 in on it may want to check it out.

 

[waverz]

The guy cliams he put rodi water in the probe caps, hmmm now its his word vs mine...looks like im gonna get screwed.....uhg.

 

[matt the fiddler]

let me know on that trade in thing.. i would definatly be interested in upgrading my ACII
