Send the seller a message and ask for a deal then.

I would advise all to stay clear of this seller. Take note of the ebay id and put it on your no-buy-from list.

I believe it would be a benefit to the community and your own interest in diverting sales from this seller if you'd explain what your negative experience(s) is/was.

Providing an accurate view of the facts permits the reader to evaluate the situation and determine if they want to do business with the person or not. Suggesting only that people stay away without citing a reason (detailed or otherwise) is effectively a waste of your own effort because nobody knows why they should stay away (and as a result won't feel particularly inclined to stay away).

From two transactions, my reasonings are as follows:

- item not as pictured or as described, different color plungers on keyboard which were explicitly stated on item description
- item condition worse than described, missing pieces
- packaging was very poor, packed in loose garbage
- seller filed false claim with shipper claiming the missing pieces were due to shipping damage
- seller exploits any technicality to avoid negative feedback

I did not leave negative feedback for either transaction, but it would seem that another buyer had a similar experience to mine:

 
It's probably a crapshoot with this seller, so be aware of it. He may well have cleaned up his operation since then, but he has alienated this potential repeat buyer. YMMV.
