My true story from last year is that I sold one of those Case 45 pattern camp knives from the 1980's for $18 - I think. It was rougher than a cob and I listed it that way with obvious wear and scratches. The guy that bought it emailed right away and said he was not happy and that he had found better knives laying along side the road. I told him to return the knife and he would be given a 100% refund including shipping both ways. He responded that he wanted to keep the knife but expected me to refund $10 to him because in his opinion the knife was only worth $8 and if I didn't do that he would leave me the feedback I richly deserved. I responded that I did not issue partial refunds and that his threat to use bad feedback for a lower purchase price was a violation of Ebay policy and that I was forwarding all of his emails concerning this purchase to Ebay for their investigation. It worked, never heard anymore from the guy and never got bad feedback. A few weeks later I was looking through the listings and this same seller had the knife relisted. Funny, he didn't describe it as something you might find laying on the side of the road, but rather a well made, quality knife that had seen better days. I think he ended up getting $25 or so for it. If I would have sent him the $10 he would have made out like a bandit and maybe that was his intention all along? So much trouble for so few dollars. 5% of the people cause 95% of the world's problem. I told my kids as they were growing up to try very hard not to become a part of the 5%.

http:/www.kcbd.com/story/10369871/how-to-perf ... verter-box

The remote looks different. Are you sure it will work on this converter? I need to perform a channel scan, and cannot do so without a remote.

ME
HELLO...
ALL I STATE IS IT IS "DIGITAL STREAM" BRAND... I DO NOT SAY WHAT IT WILL AND WONT WORK, I HAVE NO MODEL NUMBER LISTED, JUST BRAND...
ALSO YOUR LINK DOES NOT WORK....??????? DIFFERENT THAN WHAT? WHAT CONVERTER????
SORRY YOU LOST ME???????????? I AM SELLING A REMOTE ONLY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MODELS IT WORKS FOR
THANKS!

HIM
Just checked my link, it works ... My concern is that the picture has a different shape remote.
All I want to ensure is that the remote will be compatible with my converter box. If I get the part number or model number off it (assuming it has one), will it work? I have this thing and I cannot do a "channel scan" without a remote.
Also, can you accept credit cards directly? I cannot do paypal. I can send you a money order as an alternative.
Thanks
