My point is people should describe goods accurately. I have come unstuck 
before from someone who sold some rectifiers, claiming they were of a 
certain spec, but it later turns out they are not. (That unfortunate 
incident was because of an inaccurate point on Amps)

I had a similar thing happen on eBay. An oscillator was advertised an an 
HP 10811A, which is what I wanted. I won the auction.

The seller then offered me some other model instead if i wanted it. So I 
checked the specs of that model and found it was a bit poorer on some 
specs. So I said I wanted the 10811A I won the auction for.

He never bothered to tell me that he had actually sold the 10811A 
elsewhere, and so never had it to sell in the first place. So the unit 
he was offering me way the only model he had. Needless to say he sent 
that, so there was a big argument about it.


Personally if I bought a tube that did not fit because someone had 
mis-described it, I would want them to pay return shipping costs, as it 
is their mistake. So it's not really in anyones interest to describe 
things inaccurately.
