I can't help but wonder if the seller was someone different (m.c) and you'd had the same experience, if your comments would be the same  

TSPP, Ofcourse my comments would be the same if any other seller was dishonest. I was honest in my post. The machine is missing something major, I have inspected the machine personally, and i have had bad experiences with that paticular seller. Its not my experience that i am using as a guide, its the fact that that machine cannot be made to work without the major missing components being re-installed. You have to wreck a perfectly good machine to get those major parts.
 
In actual fact, I was contacted by 3 different people who were led to believe it was an easy fix, and it certainly is not. As a result, 3 different members have said now they are glad they sought advice before spending $1500. I dont care who the seller is, if u arent 100% honest, I would stop doing business with that person. Trust me, after 30 machines, I have learnt who is and who isnt bodgy in this industry. The listing itself says the machine can be easily modded, which is blatantly incorrect and misleading.

I dont think the sellers in Melbourne would be that silly, well, not in my experience after multiple purchases anyway.
