The ebay s t dupont listings are completely out of control
And while ive come here to complain i am going to do something about it. Bought 3 duponts, all fake. Its personal. Seller of one claims to be in spain and wants to make returns difficult. HERE IS THE THING-i asked for refund not return, im not sending back fraudulent goods so they can be sold as authentic again and ive demanded proof they tell all the other buyers of their duponts they bought fake lighters for hundreds of dollars in some cases. Im not sending them back and i want my money back, im destroying them i find their existence noisome and offensive. This person has made hundreds of dollars of this blatant scam in a single day. Id like to sell people things that belong in a landfill for hundreds of dollars too, but i have this thing called integrity. Scammers need life in prison.
I dont know about you guys usually id just get a refund and let this go-not this time. The fact I have to do forensic analysis on every listing i want to buy wasting a bunch of time infuriates me. The fact S T Dupont has no database to cross reference serial numbers proves to me french incompetence because WHY EVEN HAVE SERIAL NUMBERS! It would be like if here in america we put serial numbers on firearms and just never bothered to jot them down anywhere.
Im going to be hall monitoring the st dupont listings and demanding sellers relist as fugazzi or take down the listing preferably, then still report them so there is a record of that sellers bullshit. If you want to tell me i should have expected a fake for 60 bucks-nope. Ive accuired authentic dunhill lighters for 52 and 61 dollars there is no excuses for this that would satisfy me. I would encourage anyone with the time and temperment to join me in my crusade against fake and gay chinese knock off chunks of garbage metal. Why do we even trade with the chinese at this point?! is anything they send us not inferior to the same thing made by literally anyone else? even Togo?
