Description of Bad Deal:
Made contact with the seller on the 21st of Jan 2023.
We spoke via WhatsApp and agreed to meet up the very same day, before meeting up he asked if he can pack the monitor up so long, I requested a few pics of the monitor and double checked with him on the condition of it, he confirmed that its excellent as stated in his thread and sent me 3 pictures with colorful backgrounds.
We meet up and I do payment and advise him that I'll probably get to testing the monitor the following day. I didn't get a chance to test it until Wednesday as I was tied up with work and it being close to month end. Upon testing all seemed fine but I did not contact the seller or mention anything about me being happy and satisfied.
Friday came and I was free to really use the monitor and do some gaming etc. Once I opened discord I noticed certain parts of the screen looking rather weird, this seemed to look more apparent on a light grey background which discord has. To me it looks like some sort of clouding on the panel which cannot be seen when a colourful image is displayed.
I immediately message him the Friday evening and I don't receive any response until Saturday evening in which his girlfriend informs me that this is actually her number and I must contact him on his own number ( not sure why I got her number in the first place)
I then message him on his own number stating my concern in which he responds "Hi my lady just sent your messages we’re gonna have to deal with this when I get back from Langebaan on Tuesday. we also need to get a carbonite mod involved"
At this point I'm a bit confused as he does not even seem concerned about what exactly is wrong with the monitor. He did not ask any questions or offer any advice on how to solve the issue, most importantly, he did not seem keen on assisting me at all claiming that its been 6 days since I bought it and because I never messaged him, he assumed I'm happy with the monitor.
Yes while it may be 6 days later, the issue with the monitor is not something that can be picked up very easily and you seemed to have hid it very well by only sending me pictures of colorful images displayed on the monitor.
You claimed the monitor was handed over in perfect condition yet you have no evidence of that. In my experience of owning monitors, this is not something that simply happens over a period of a couple days.
