I am one of the old school prop builders. By that I mean that I use door closers and PVC cylinders. Have safely used them for years with no problems. However just to see what all the fuss is about, I decided to check out bimba cylinders on ebay. I won an auction for a single cylinder, with the option to buy 11 more for the winning bid price. I was going to buy all 12 of them just to have and work with.
When I contacted the seller I was told that the cylinders were already sold. So I asked why it was stated on the auction that the winning bidder (me) had the purchase option, but the cylinders were sold before the auction even closed. I was told that it was their mistake and that the entire auction would be cancelled so that me or the other buyer would not leave neg. feedback. What? I already paid for the first cylinder. Does this mean I don't get the cylinder? Sometimes ebay sellers are great, then again...
