Of cons and collaboratives

General
Great title. But nah, I'm just venting out anger in this.
For any Transformers fans/toy collectors, I bought the 'Collaborative Tonkinator' for $200 from ebay. (I know, overpriced. Couldn't agree more) But I... just wanted it. A week goes buy, turns out the seller forgot. So I asked for a partial refund. Why should I pay full price for his screwup?
I wanted half, but he talked me into $50, I said OK, and said he can give it to me once I got the thing.
I got the item, he gave me the money. Last night I was handling it. And boy I was not impressed with it. And this ain't a bootleg item. And I don't wanna jump to conclusions to call the seller a bootlegger.
So I told him this morning I was thinking about returning it. Yeah, I did open the package, so maybe I'm the asshole on that part. But the dude accused me of conning $50 out of him. I go 'excuse me', after HIS late shipping. So I told him I'll keep it as a reminder to never do business with him ever again.
Yeah, you accuse me of this kinda shit, you better be able to back it up. I was so pissed I thought about reporting him. But I didn't deal with this asshole anymore, so I wanted to vent my frustrations here.
I'm not looking for sympathy points, just wanted to get it off my chest. Cuz I really don't want this kinda resentment on the brain.
And if that guy somehow does have an FA an sees this, kindly fuck off.
Thanks for your time.

I'm glad I didn't get any animosity when I had to get my money refunded recently. Kinda sucks though because I really wanted that Medabots premium collection 2 box. :<

I was referring to some 1/12 gashapon figures they've been making for some time now. I mainly want to get the 2nd box set because it has Warbandit in it, alongside the starters from Medarot 5 :3

How does the person you buy from accuse someone of conning them out of $50. That's such BS
CWS
~cws
OP
The guy obviously hasn't had buyers wanna make returns
Yeah it's like reactive abuse or something just over something impossibly stupid and could have been fixed immediately.

Yeah, why should I pay full price for HIS screwup?
