CED VideoDisc and Player Discussion

[dj3928]

Most folks on ebay are Honest, heres an example.

I bought a Sears (hitachi made) CED Player, the fellow also had a couple of RCA players for sale at the same time. Got the player I bought and instead of the Sears player he had shipped me an RCA player. I contacted him and he said he would ship me the right player and that I could keep the player he shipped by mistake.

He made an honest mistake , but he made it right.

I love it when you do business with someone and they ARE has honest as they seem! I have bought several CEDs from Jays Recyclery out of the 40 or more there were 2 movies that were in pretty bad shape, way too many skips. I sent him an email, and within an hour, was given a full refund and he told me to keep the movie. Another time, last week I won a copy of the RCA Preview, (no returns excepted) When I got it, not only was the disc in terrible shape, (scratches and smudge prints), But it was the WRONG DISC! I sent an email, and the seller gave me a full refund. You are right, Darrell, it makes you feel good when someone does what they should do.

I have shared this before but I will repeat for newcomers. I have sold a lot of CED players over the years on Ebay that I have repaired. I do this to help keep the format alive. I have only had one problem buyer. He bought a Montgomery Wards 10301 CED player from me. After he received the player he emailed me that it didn’t work so I gave him a few ideas on what to do and he became very angry and demanded his money back in the form of a full refund including shipping. He shipped the player back to me and I could hardly believe what he had done. He had swapped the cartridge with one that was broke and I mean the cantilever was bent, the fly-lead had turned green and broke into. The case was broken and he had taken the player apart and not even tightened the screws back up, only a few finger turns to keep them from falling out. His username on Ebay was midknightrunner. I have him in my blocked bidder list. He went to all that trouble just to get a working stylus cartridge for free. From then on I mark certain areas in my players to tell if they had been tampered with.
