You are perhaps right that I should have asked, and that minor cosmetic problems should not be a big deal unless an item is listed as mint or near-mint. However, badly corroded terminals, missing feet, and other such defects which are not shown in the pictures go beyond this. If you have ever been in the position of being a buyer, you may realize that it is difficult to guess all of the ways an unscrupulous seller might try to cheat, and then ask about all of them specifically. Since I did offer to accept a partial refund, I think I was more than accomodating in my efforts to find a mutual solution. At any rate, having your viewpoint is valuable to me and other members of this forum. It may give valuable insight in future auctions.
Best regards,
