I weakened this evening when I saw an advert for a Marshall pedal advertised 'as new'.
It was chipped and filthy so I decided to call the guy out on it as I have had my time wasted in the past by people mis-describing the condition of their stuff just to get a bite. I took a look at all his other pedals and they were grimy and definitely far from the 'as new' condition as he had described them.
Anyway, unsurprisingly I had a messaging spat with him and he ended up threatening really hacked off.
Perhaps I should have said nothing but, people that don't describe their used stuff properly really piss me off as they're wasting everyone's time.
Was I wrong? Should I have just walked on by?
The adverts are on FB NI if you want to take a peek. The prices are actually reasonable.

I was on reverb yesterday and was about to pull the trigger on a “Like New” pedal. So glad I enlarged the pictures - it was not beat up but clearly had some wear and tear with chips and text rubbed off
I bought it because I was happy with the price. IMHO, the seller knew they were selling old stock and was careful not to use the word "new". If it turned up full of cat hair or stinking of fags, I would have sent it back.
Sometimes it's a game and if both parties are happy, it's OK. But there's a fine line - caveat emptor (buyer beware)!
