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.




Sounds like the old fashion "bait and switch" to me.  When accurate  
model/part numbers are given out in a description, certainly this would not be  an 
issue if something else was not offered.  In my case I offered what I  was 
selling simply stating it could be used in place of a 3CX1500A7.  The  3/8" 
difference may or may not be a problem, but some technicality discussion  here turned 
off a buyer who had committed to buy the tubes which were of no  consequence 
to the him "in fact".  Naturally I was upset about that but I  suppose it would 
be wrong to admonish someone for nixing a deal so I won't say  anything. 
Fortunately someone else came along a took advantage.  But as  "this" story goes 
on the e-bay thing, yes, I would be upset also.   Lou
