haotong Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted December 21, 2015 no it does not affect the image. However, I am very curious to know if this is common across the whole production of M8-M9-Monochrom or even M-E, or just a rare case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haotong Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted December 21, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) What in the world are you trying to show? Basically I just sold my well kept Monochrom, but the buyer wants to return by indicating this is a huge problem he could not cope with. So he took the video and trying to show me the problem. And opened a dispute on Paypal. I know paypal is buyer-sided most of the time. I feel really bad. And of course I will accept the return if this is indeed a factory defect.

pico Posted December 21, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 21, 2015 So what is he trying to claim? Where is the problem. Is the camera not a Monchrom? It is funny, not, that there are people who can afford a number of Leicas and still be idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted December 21, 2015 Share #9 Posted December 21, 2015 Please just tell us what the problem is! If it is a supposed LCD problem and the buyer is comparing the Monochrom with say an ordinary M9 remember the Monochrom has a different screen, so will probably reflect light in a different way.

wattsy Posted December 21, 2015 Share #10 Posted December 21, 2015 Basically I just sold my well kept Monochrom, but the buyer wants to return by indicating this is a huge problem he could not cope with. So he took the video and trying to show me the problem. And opened a dispute on Paypal. I know paypal is buyer-sided most of the time. I feel really bad. And of course I will accept the return if this is indeed a factory defect. The buyer probably got buyer's remorse and is looking for a reason to back out of the sale. Either that or he/she is one of those nightmare buyers that is pernickety to the point of being essentially mentally ill. The fact that the buyer has already opened a dispute tells you all you need to know. I think your best outcome is to get the camera back in the same condition you sent it and start the process again. The risk of encountering this kind of buyer is one of the reasons I prefer to sell Leica gear using the forum classifieds (via PM correspondence you soon get a feel for whether the buyer is someone you will want to do business with, nor are you obliged to accept Paypal).

NickR Posted December 21, 2015 Share #11 Posted December 21, 2015 Sorry I don't quite get what the problem is... On the camera on the left, on the right side of the screen, there is light emanating from something when viewed at that angle. Reflection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunhoy Posted December 21, 2015 Share #12 Posted December 21, 2015 seriously? the so called "buyer" (time waster) needs to i) get out more ii) get a life I would NEVER buy or sell Leica through flea bay for this reason - too much hassle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and it is exactly what I feel right now. It is a very hard lesson for me. Especially the Monochrom is such a unique tool that many of the consumers must know the learning curve of mastering B&W photography before really owning one. Hence the rate of changing mind after purchasing is relatively high. By realizing this fact, I learned that only buy a Monochrom when we are knowing exactly what we shoot. And only sell to those who really know who to appreciate the uniqeness of a Leica Monochrom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

haotong Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share #15 Posted December 21, 2015 Consider placing it on the forum classifieds. Thank you and yes I will. Still have to wait the buyer to ship it back, hope it will maintain the same condition as before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefano60 Posted December 24, 2015 Share #17 Posted December 24, 2015 Total insanity - b.s. at the highest level; you should post the name of that idiot so that nobody else here gets caught selling something to him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted December 27, 2015 Share #18 Posted December 27, 2015 I hate Ebay for exactly this reason-buyer biased and they can leave any negative comments even if not true. Yes, you can dispute the comments, but in my experience they will not remove them and only give you a rebuttal response. Total non-sense and the person on the phone at Ebay has total decision making for each case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilfredo Posted December 29, 2015 Share #20 Posted December 29, 2015 I couldn't see any issue here. I hope you don't end up having to refund the purchase. It is helpful to know who the buyer is, I've had to block bad bidders on E-Bay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
