This is an excellent point. I did just that when I bought a Sony DVD pickup from them and it came in as a used part, then they sent me another used part to replace it. I told Henry that I would post the experience to this list and he immediately issued me credit for the bad parts + $20 to cover the shipping and my trouble. This list may be good leverage with vendors. I suggest we use it as such. Leonard G.
