|
|
Guys
A customer in Europe says I sent him a badly scratched Marquee green c element. The top picture is an authentic Marquee green c element, the second picture is his picture of the alleged scratched lens I sent him. He maintains that the "auto white balance" on his camera made his picture look that way. bull****! The iMac color meter does not lie. What do you guys think?

Doesn't look the same, and I don't think you would send out a scratched up C in the first place.

He's trying to scam you. Mark his emails as spam and let your spam filter take it from there.

The second picture looks like a CLEAR C element.

I'm sure he has you mixed up with someone else.

Maybe flash have made picture look weird, how about green at bottom right?
I'd ask better picture, before saying he's scammer.

Well, you either sent him a scratched c element or you didn't Tim, and you know the answer to this.
I really don't see how taking a photo with a camera and then looking at it on a computer can tell you color of the c element either. Different cameras will have different colors and the compression in the image file will also change the color. The only way to actually know the color of the c element is with a spectroradiometer.

I agree with Craig and Ile. That picture doesn't tell you much. Make him send you multiple pics and then you can tell. If it is damaged and it was good when you shipped it, then it was damaged in shipping or he damaged it.

It doesn't help much in this case but I put a identification mark on everything I sell. If there's a problem with something that doesn't have my mark on it, it didn't come from me. There's to many dishonest people in the world. Even if he sent you back the c-element for inspection, you have no way to tell if it was the one you sent or if he scratched it himself.

Yeah, I mark most things I send out, I was not expecting problems on a small transaction like this.
