Hi hi! I recently posted how brokenhearted I was over some pipes I purchased off eBay. I resolved myself to attempt a stem repair on a Linkman Grabow and the lister gave me a rebate on the pipe. I then provided positive feedback with less than 5 stars under "description".
The second pipe is more problematic. It is an Estella that has been topped. The issue is that I got it from eBay Spain. I am not fine spending $25 to send it back and be assed out of a pipe altogether. Here is a pic (a clear one, as opposed to the one on the listing) of the rim:
I am now left with the chore of leaving feedback. He has been communicative and gave me a break on shipping since I ordered 2 pipes. I left glowing praise on the feedback for the other, near flawless, pipe. Here is the transaction between he and I:
Dear zhuge235,
understand. The Nose truth if repaired or not. my knowledge of pipes is reduced. so if I can say it is that I bought it so that pipe. And pay for it € 80 .. but if you are not satisfied with it. We can reach agreement

Dear chiquitina_32,
You sell many pipes. This pipe is clearly different. The top of bowl is not the same as sides. Your picture was just small enough that it was blurry when I zoomed in. This pipe was repaired. I haven't decided what feedback to leave.

Dear chiquitina_32,
Hi Francisco. I left positive feedback for the other pipe. It is beautiful and I am proud of it. For this one, I had to get your listing for this pipe thoroughly translated before I could reply to you. This pipe, the 604, has had the top of the bowl sawed or ground off and someone banged it with a nail or something to make it less smooth. I looked at the pictures. It was not something I could see in the listing. I am deciding what feedback to leave on this.

This guy has 13 auctions up right now. 12 of them are pipe related. I don't give him a pass for 'not noticing' the damage. Estella Rustication is SO easily distinguished.
So I am asking what feedback would you all leave?
