You are being presumptive...

68.72.161.38

You presume that I am 1. Trying to gain sympathy and 2. Trying to resolve an issue

Neither of these is the case. Since both parties in the transaction remain anonymous, there is no vindication on my part just as there is no trashing of anyone's rep. And the simple fact that there couldn't possibly be any resolution on AA for an eBay transaction is plainly apparent.

What I am exploring here...via this forum, is if there is an Implied Warranty of Merchantability in regards to tube sales on eBay. It's a simple contract law issue.

Now, an interesting question in that regard would be - were there any disclaimers of "as-is" in the auction or a statement of "no warranty"...which would negate the issue of Merchantability. However, this was not the case.

In this light, I feel that it is in fact an appropriate topic and rises above the level of simple whining.

In fact it could be of interest to anyone who purchases or sells tubes at auction.

The central question is whether there is an implied warranty against a tube being noisy or microphonic in this context under the heading of Merchantability...not whether I was ripped off or not or by whom.

And I disagree that negative feedback has sealed the fate of the transaction. It is an ancillary concern in the dispute process.
