No worries mate. You've just identified yourself... i didn't even quote anybody in my post.
Just to clarify 'Sadwitch' misleading post on what transpired:
1. At no time was he 'forced' or 'obliged' to purchase the camera.
2. The camera was listed as condition '9' as it was, to our knowledge, in good condition, no scratches, dings, as good as new. The camera was hardly used, kept in dry box 90% of the time, shutter count was less than 5000.
3. The LCD was protected by a good quality LCD screen protector which was bought from Cathay Photo. As per normal wear and tear, the edges of the LCD screen protector were peeling off, but the screen was still clear and not 'marred' as he described.
4. Actually, to clarify, what does he define as 'marred'? scratched? The LCD screen is definitely not scratched when it was handed to him to test.
5. When one removes the LCD screen protector, it is inevitable that there will be a sticky residue left on it - which I assume was what he did when he reached home. We will not venture as to how he removed the LCD screen protector - but if he says that when he tried to remove it, the LCD screen was 'marred', then it begs the questions: wat did he use to remove the LCD screen protector? Did he use a lint free cloth or a piece of abrasive tissue paper? what liquid did he use? did he gently wipe it off? or was he too enthusiatic about it?
6. There are also several factors involved:
Sorry to hear about all these stories of people without integrity...
I also happen to deal with a CS member recently without integrity. Purchased an E330 from him which he claims a condition 9 but when i meet up i discovered the LCD screen was marred by the sticky screen protector. I was already quite dissappointed but to honour my word i still transacted with him in the hope of removing the stains myself. But after removing the super tough stains i realise the screen coating beneath has already wore off and it's leaving bad marks on it. I call him to discuss is there a possibility of returning the item to him since a condition like this doesn't warrant a 9 but he just brush me off suggesting i'm using corrosive liquid to clean. (what an insult)
Very dissapointed that these dishonest people exist in the Buy/Sell forums and hopefully karma will get time big time . I know i can't do much and have to live with it.
Rant over...
I am not sure if there will be any residue left on the LCD screen when one takes it off ... perhaps there may be sticky residue, perhaps not. We are not suggesting that there is ... or there isn't.
Hmmm ... Vince, all that time in the harsh lights of your photo studio fried your brain cells? Just becos u dont experience sticky residue when u remove your LCD protector doesn't mean others don't encounter it. What we are saying is that usually you do have some sticky residue, while sometimes you don't.
Is your field of vision so telezoomed that you can't accept that other do encounter it sometimes? Please start using wide angle lens ... perhaps your field of vision will be wider? better still, get a fish eye lens ;-)
Maomao, just admit you made a mistake with that statement. It is pretty obvious what was meant. Admitting that mistake doesn't detract from the other statements you made.
Personally, what is obvious to you may not be obvious to others. It is all a matter of perception ... like photography. Who is one to judge if its a mistake or if its not?
