Annoyed - bought tripod on ebay, tripod is broken!

4 years 3 weeks ago #680414 by Prago
Ordered a used RRS tripod on eBay last week.  Well it arrived today and one of the legs doesn't lock.  This isn't something that broke in shipping, this was sold broken but seller told everyone it was excellent condition.

I just sent the guy a message.  I'm hoping he responds with a favorable response.  

SWM into chainsaws and hockey masks seeks like-minded SWF. No weirdos, please

See if you can disassemble the defective lock and possibly
understand what's wrong.

If you don't get it, undo another to compare.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

If the item was not as described, eBay usually sides with the buyer. You can use that to your benefit to force a refund.

If you got a good deal, you can look into fixing it (per the above), which may be the better and least expensive course of action.
