...a "funny" (summarized) story... If you are going to buy some disks from CBM Museum Wuppertal (DE)....think about it! In january 2008 I've try to buy some disks that should have been absolutely original, (he strongly affirmed that!) but they are not! I told him I already have any DMS/ADF about Amiga, and I don't need copies but he get a little upset about my insinuation.. So, I paid almost 180 euro (..don't laugh at me, please.. :) ) and after many months, I received about 60 original disks but one I opened the box, I've found a bunch of copied bulks, with ugly reprinted labels, cutted by scissors. Nobody told me disks had reprinted labels before I received it..! He explained me that disks are original, but they changed labels because they were ruined. (..!!!..) Answering at my doubts he told me (basically) that they have about 200.000 or 300.000 disks in archive, (depends by the mail...quantity changed day by day..) and they have no time to make copies, (..but they have time to make/change labels..?) so disks are originals, and to stop giving noise about it.. Everybody know that there are no difference between an original disk and a XCOPYed clone of it, than the original label. I've sent the disks back, paying more money for delivering (I have thousand of disks in my stock, and don't need some more, expecially if I paid lot of money for bad quality disks) with a letter where I wrote something like: "well, let's assume there were a misunderstood, please take the disks back, keep the money for the time you spent about me but please refund me some money. You decide how many" Here comes the most amusing part: He get offenced about my letter and gave me an ultimatum, about asking for the money to send me disks back again (!) otherwise he would have enabled her lawyers! :))))))) After this, I completly understood wich kind of guy he is, and I decided to make a gift and leave him the money, even if I'm not someone who swim into the money, but I work hard to maintain/following my Amiga related passions. I've been disappointed seeing there are still someone who take care only about the money, but lacks about ethics.. --> I saved all the documents about the above... <--- |
