12:47:36 <Bonny> hi Devil45
12:54:15 <Devil45> howdys
12:54:34 <Bonny> how are you?
12:54:36 <Devil45> im pissed off. bloody ebay sellers. i buy a bulk lot of vintage tapes
12:54:47 <Devil45> and they send me fkn foreign language book store shit
12:55:02 <Bonny> wtf
12:55:06 <Devil45> they went to the bin and negative feedback given
12:55:13 <Devil45> i dont want french crap
12:55:21 <Devil45> when the listing is for blanks
12:55:28 <Bonny> why not return them and get your money back?
12:55:33 <Devil45> whats worse is there were meant to be 15
12:55:40 <Devil45> u only got 5
12:55:42 <Devil45> no
12:55:54 <Devil45> i told him hes not getting em back. and he doesnt accept returns anyway
12:56:04 <Bonny> ok
12:56:09 <Devil45> i paid express post
12:56:13 <Devil45> he sends via regular
12:56:19 <Devil45> so 2 fuckups
12:56:37 <Devil45> then he calls me
12:57:28 <Devil45> says he screwed up and will put it right and send a feedback revision request. i was shocked he admitted fault - usually sellers lie.
12:57:54 <Devil45> told him ' its a deal - lets fix this but it wont happen again - i will make sure'
12:57:55 <Bonny> it's cos you gave him a negative feedback
12:58:19 <Devil45> it was justified - till he contacted
12:58:35 <Bonny> that's why he contacted you
12:58:39 <Devil45> because the item was not as described - some neg is buyers complaining about postage
12:59:05 <Devil45> any case - he called and was super sorry - i couldnt stay mad at him
12:59:12 <Bonny> lol
12:59:25 <Devil45> so we worked it out sort of - and the revision is a request he has to submit
12:59:32 <Devil45> once he sends the right thing
12:59:43 <Devil45> then i can change the neg to pos :)
12:59:59 <Bonny> at least he contacted you
13:00:04 <Devil45> but it pisses me off because hes the third guy who did this
13:00:10 <Devil45> same week
13:00:35 <Devil45> when he called he said "i got the wrong box and sent it by mistake - i stuffed up sorry"
13:00:48 <Devil45> how can you be mad at that?
13:00:53 <Bonny> you can't
13:01:04 <Devil45> nope i told him im too old to be a snowflake about it
13:01:14 <Devil45> let other buyers whine :P
13:01:21 * electrohead throws snow at Devil45 and makes Bonny film
13:01:29 * Bonny films
13:01:33 <Devil45> that wont work
13:01:35 <electrohead> lol
13:01:37 <Devil45> snow melts with me
13:01:37 <electrohead> heya :P
13:01:42 <Devil45> so it becomes water
13:01:42 <Bonny> o/~

13:02:16 <Devil45> 4 sellers and 3 fuck up0
13:02:26 <Devil45> the 1 who didnt was super pleasant
13:02:41 <Devil45> and his id is interesting too
13:02:47 <Devil45> "firebird"
13:02:55 <Bonny> how's work, electrohead?
13:03:00 <Devil45> my first impression was pontiac
13:03:00 <electrohead> heh
13:03:04 <electrohead> yeah, ebay is hit or miss
13:03:12 <Devil45> its better than craigslist
13:03:14 <electrohead> Bonny: it's ok. lots of training and reading, currently
13:03:18 <electrohead> waayyy better, lol
13:03:18 <Bonny> cool
13:03:37 <Devil45> "i placed an ad on craigslist for a roommate"
13:03:44 <electrohead> then again, if you know how to look on ebay and search properly, you're fine
13:03:47 <Devil45> and it didnt work out so theyre in court
13:03:51 <electrohead> heh
13:03:53 <Devil45> ah ebay
13:03:58 <Devil45> the thing with that
13:04:06 <Devil45> especially uk sellers is the shipping cost
13:04:14 <Devil45> they charge 300 AU to send
13:04:18 <Bonny> I don't order from uk or us
13:04:22 <electrohead> ouch
13:04:24 <Devil45> usa is not bad
13:04:27 <electrohead> I try to order only from the US
13:04:29 <Devil45> depends on the item
13:04:30 <electrohead> but, that's where I live
13:04:41 <Devil45> and who sells it
13:04:45 <Bonny> yeah it's different when you live there
13:04:51 <Devil45> UPS is bad
13:04:52 <Devil45> im told
13:05:01 <Devil45> they tend to smash items
13:05:29 <Bonny> welp.. I'm out of here.. work calls
13:05:33 <Devil45> theres a guy on youtube who buys tube radios from ebay - they get shipped via ups - and end up in pieces
13:05:43 <electrohead> knock on wood, but I haven't experienced anything broken, or bad sellers, in a while
13:05:55 <Bonny> bye
13:05:58 <electrohead> Bonny: awe ok, nice talking to you :)
13:06:08 <Devil45> its one thing for a seller to make a mistake but admitting and correcting is important
13:06:11 * electrohead hugs Bonny's face
13:06:18 <Bonny> nice hugging you
13:06:23 <Devil45> its worse if they deny or lie
13:06:24 <electrohead> :p
13:06:24 * Bonny hugz electrohead
13:14:27 <electrohead> alright, I need to get to bed

20:22:01 <doggyrat> hello folks
20:23:09 <doggyrat> hello ^bozojim
20:23:20 <^bozojim> hi doggyrat
20:26:12 <doggyrat> i just googled up how a braille note touch looks like , because i had no idea
20:30:07 <doggyrat> how many characters does yours have 18 or 32
20:34:32 <^bozojim> I have 32
20:36:18 <doggyrat> is the braille note touch just added to a normal tablet or is it a unit
20:36:42 <^bozojim> it is its own unit if you read it
20:38:02 <^bozojim> it is a multi function unit
20:41:34 <^bozojim> the main pafe on it says all about it
20:43:07 <doggyrat> but why are these that expensive, about $5k
20:45:32 <^bozojim> they are not cheap
20:45:45 <^bozojim> nothing is cheap in that augmentative tech area
21:01:56 <^bozojim> it can be connected to another device and used as a braille display on it
21:05:33 <^bozojim> it replaces 5 different units in one
23:02:29 <ld0g> HELLO
23:06:28 <^bozojim> hello ld0g
23:06:39 Mode: (by ^bozojim) +v ld0g
23:13:56 <ld0g> how ya doin
23:14:05 <^bozojim> I am good
23:29:36 <doggyrat> hello ld0g
23:38:00 <^bozojim> doggyrat I did reply to you and I am still waiting for an answer
23:39:19 <doggyrat> sorry ^bozojim i went afk for lunch and had a nap after
23:40:06 <^bozojim> and the BNT cost me $7600 not $5k
23:40:07 <doggyrat> thank you for the information about the braille display
23:41:48 <^bozojim> it does not have a standard qwerty keyboard with it
23:41:50 <doggyrat> having an handicap makes you being punished twice, companies are charging you a lot for some helpful devices
23:41:55 <^bozojim> it is all done as spec in braille
23:42:18 <^bozojim> handicap is so out of date
23:46:17 <^bozojim> that unit saves the system a lot of money plus i can carry all the stuff with me in one unit
23:46:56 <doggyrat> i am off going into the city taking a walk through the shopping pedestrian area
