Last installment of the bridge saga, at least for a while ;-)

I bought what I thought was a Sung-Il bridge for $23.02. It was crappy, so I complained to the seller on eBay. The seller never responded so eBay returned me the $23.02.

I have sometimes wondered how the seller got Amazon to send the package directly to me. As I was throwing out the pouch today, I discovered that there was a "gift receipt" in the pouch too. It had a URL and a message that read: "You can learn more about your gift or return it too." So I went online, and it asked me if I wanted to return the bridge and get a gift card instead. "Sure!" I shouted, to no one in particular.

It seems the seller got Amazon to ship to me by making the bridge a "gift." However, a gift from Amazon can be returned and made into a virtual "gift card."

Bought a new bridge that used the same exact specification graphic as Sung Il, but is unlabeled, so it could be anything. It cost $12.99. Reimbursement from Amazon is $12.99.

I would have been happy to pay $23 for a decent bridge. However it does give me a small amount of joy that his swindle is costing him $26 instead.
