Hi there, thanks for visiting this site.

I can't stand if people are trying to blame someone else for their own faults. So here are the facts regarding "Elessar":

May 30, 2005 (day 1)

I won the Ebay auction #5977530135, a Polystone statue of "Elessar" from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. The item was described to be "...in mint condition, sealed...":

As old items on Ebay get removed from their site after awhile, here's a printscreen:

June 1, 2005 (day 3)

I paid for the item with Paypal:

June 20, 2005 (day 22)

The seller did not respond to my payment, the shipment did not show up, so I sent this e-mail to the seller:

June 25, 2005 (day 27)

No response, so I sent another e-mail:

June 26, 2005 (day 28)

I got a response from the seller:

July 6, 2005 (day 38)

Still nothing received, I sent this e-mail to the seller:

July 8, 2005 (day 40)

No reply from the seller, I had no choice but to file a claim with Paypal.

July 9, 2005 (day 41)

Obviously the seller had access to his e-mail and got notified by Paypal, he immediately replied:

July 10, 2005 (day 42)

My reply:

July 25, 2005: (day 57)

The item was finally received, I immediately cancelled my claim with Paypal.

I then inspected the statue and found a small breakage on the statue. The broken off piece was not to be found in the box, so it must have already been missing when the statue was shipped. I informed the seller in yet another e-mail:

I descibed the damage with pictures and kindly asked for his comments and how to proceed.
