Not so. I had interacted with him in P. M. and was the first responder. He offered to send pictures but that wasn't necessary for me. Also he was cordial. However, It is a matter of principle that first responder should be first in line. I admit I was leary of the seller because he had no posts here except for the sale of the EVSE. Someone else had Pm'ed him many hours later that had just purchased a new evse, so I believe he went with that to be able to turn in that with his vehicle. And yes, he would have preferred to trade with someone in LA but he did not state that as a deal breaker. It would have cost us both a little bit more for the swap but I'm right next door in AZ. Mine is brand new also but he didn't know that. But who seriously needs to turn in a brand new one with a lease return. He has no scruples or sense of fair play. My word is my bond and this was not an auction.
