I just wanted to voice my experience with Mr.CD1 on e-bay. I received 2 different NAV units from him with broken joysticks. He either isn't packaging them correctly when shipping, or reselling broken units. I know for a fact all he does is purchase used units on ebay, and resell them for a premium with a so called "warranty".

His response when I informed him that the first unit was broken was "I suggest you take it to the dealer, they will replace it." He then gave me the runaround about filing a UPS claim for damage on a box with absolutely no damage whatsoever. A week and a half later I played hardball and sent the unit back asking for a refund, or a replacement unit. I even called to represent myself in person and he insisted I should "Stop with the threats." What threats? He sold me broken merchandise and claims to offer no hassle 30 day warranty. I simply wanted him to make good on his auction description. My job requires me working with vendors and service providers on a daily basis, when a deal is made I expect someone to hold their end of the deal. When they don't I call them on it.

The second unit I received worked for all of 10 minutes before the knob stopped working. I got sick and tired of dealing with him, so I had a dealer replace it. It's unethical and I felt bad, but I had to do what I had to do.

I never left feedback in fear of retaliation. His feedback is impeccable.Check his previous auctions and you will see what I mean. All he does is buy used units, and resell them with a "Warranty".

Buyer beware. I'm sure he's a good guy, but my experience was a nightmare.
