I purchased a "Clack" from user cmadrid. It turned out to be a k3kc. I recently won the dispute via paypal and, as much as i'd like to destroy the cap so nobody else gets bamboozled, have to send the k3kc back to complete the dispute process.
I'd like to preemptively call him out before i ship the cap back so he doesn't try to scam anybody like he did with me.

For those who are interested, here are the details:
Seller sent me a private message regarding an item he had for sale
Here is the image he sent me with the "Nightowl topre clack"
Despite the terrible picture, i agreed immediately because it was being offered at a great price and his 1000+ post count also helped to put me at ease.
This is the "Clack" I received.This is what it's supposed to look like:cmadrid stated in communications that he sent an authentic, and that he's never even heard of k3kc... I mean come on, how have you been on this message forum since 2012, have over 1000 posts, and never even heard of k3kc?!?

Never heard of k3kc?!? pfffffffft. What a liar!!

For those of you that know me, you all know that I try my best to make this community a better place, I would never try to scam anybody out of anything. This community is great and I'm thankful that, despite this instance, I have hundreds of trades under my belt without any issues.
In the end, I'm partially to blame for this. It was my mistake for not asking for more pictures of said item. I should've been more thorough and covered all my bases before making the purchase.
I really hope this post helps and can provide a some educational value for new and old collectors alike. Learn from my mistake, be as thorough as possible when dealing with clacks! Ask for lots of pictures!
