Kinda sounds like my story with the hat box that I posted, then I bought an old portable type-writer the other day, same situation as the hat box.

Then I looked at the pictures again and the color they called "ochre" was more green that yellow/gold in some of the pictures. Other pictures showed it yellow/gold. So I emailed them and they said it was green....and suggested that I don't bid if I didn't like the color. So I retracted my bid siting wrong description....Penny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-38239676827928316262011-08-20T21:43:44.369-05:002011-08-20T21:43:44.369-05:00It sure has!I feel faint when I bid on something a...It sure has!I feel faint when I bid on something and a fog comes over my brain.

I knew the price was too good to be true. Well, long story short, the platter never arrived. Check cashed, letters exchanged with excuse after excuse, but no platter.
