Its frustrating I know, I'm in a similar albeit different predicament. I bought a pump from a fellow member, and paid almost double what it would normally bring because he assured me that it was barn fresh complete pump with factory paint and functioning and resetable clock mech, and that the parts I could not see were indeed there and would be shipped. I paid for it and let it sit at his place paid for for several months, I just got it only to find out it was repainted, the upper skins were flimsy hand bent repos, the clock mech came in kit form, part of which he bagged up before he shipped, and the rest fell apart as soon as I opended it up, and of couse the valve handle I didn't see wasn't there, and couldn't be because it didn't even have that option. I have tried contacting him twice and no response, I see he has been on the site since but has not posted, and this is a long time member. I won't out him, I am of the opinion the no debt in the universe ever goes unpaid, there is a perfect accounting system.
