I emailed the guy and said that while I will be keeping the machine, I was disappointed in the three major areas where it differed from what I was supposed to get. He replied that this was his first sale and the last thing he wanted to do was be dishonest... didn't know what he was doing(though I can't figure out how hard it is to list info from 'about this mac' or its serial number-did he guess?)and said he'd help however he could. I wasn't sure how to proceed so checked the cost of a new power supply and asked for $25 or so back-I bet I could have gotten more but I'm not much of a jerk. I am lucky in that she didn't need a burner terribly badly(I have one and she is not going to have many files), the speed is adequate, and the now-duct-taped cable is holding up so far(it looks like if you breathe on it it will fall apart).
I hope I handled that correctly! I haven't left feedback yet but plan on leaving him a positive if he gives me some money back. That'll make it enough of a bargain that I can't complain at all about the transaction.
Thanks, though the engagement and the Mac conversion aren't connected per se! He just sees how much we enjoy our Macs and fell in love with using them himself.
We are making crazy progress on planning the wedding-in a lot of areas, we are at the 'what to do at 8 months out' part of the bridal timelines those magazines in theme(and we have 15 months to go).
