I am sad to have to add TNTRI Clinton Moss to this list. Sad because I have used ST since 2009 and have had so many great transactions and I feel there has been a general decline in seller morale in the last year(s)?
Long story short: I bought an iPad from Clinton that was supposedly “in great condition with no marks” As I received it there was a clear scratch on one corner and the cover smelled worse than my old cycling shoes. I address the issue, sent two images to document it only to get an image back that presumably showed that there was no issue before he sent it.
His original image was too low resolution to conclude from and due to the angle you would not be able to see the mark. I had already told him that I was fine keeping the iPad but also wrote him that “… I find it frustrating that the condition of the goods is not as described. Slowtwitch has for many for years been a trusted and loved outlet for second hand gear…”
In return he answered: “How about next time you buy something and then mess it up you don’t try to blame the seller.”
I never asked for a refund or a post-transaction discount even thought I would personally have offered that to any disheartened buyer. Bottom line is I was still happy with the price, but the seller is a DB at best in my book
If you want to learn from my mistake:

"...Rocketbrother for being fast responses, shipping fast, delivering high quality packaging and products. A pleasure..."
"...rocketbrother is an extremely reliable seller and very knowledgable".
"Bottom line, if he posts something, buy it! A+ seller by a long way..."

If you want to learn from my mistake:
- Always ask for images up front
- Paypal for goods, not family and friends
- Avoid Clinton Moss TNTRI
