Does this Inland flip sight look real?

Charlie, I will kick the dead horse one more time.

You are absolutely right. My fustration is not with the authenticity of the parts. My frustration is the amount of time and number of emails I have sent auction sellers asking for additonal pics or asking basic questions.

As far as a return policy, I am really glad some some sellers do offer that. I personally think it adds value to the item and builds trust, especially if that seller does alot of selling through the auctions. However, I think it is difficult to expect a buyer to purchase the item, send funds, wait and receive the shipping before realizing that it needs to be returned for a legitimate reason. The buyer is out the shipping costs (both ways) just to look at it AND the seller is out, when he could have sold it to someone else who could have used it. I am also sure that an honest seller gets frustrated in having to answer 10 dozen emails about the same thing and send out 6 dozen more pictures. I best, simple answer is to try and post the best pics you can and give the best detail description when you post your item. It saves the bidders time, effort and money AND it saves the seller the time effort and money, too.

I honestly think that taking decent pics is a skill that most people can learn. Look, all us old, gray haired guys have learned to work computers, post pictures and even spend money online! It just takes some reading, asking questions, practice and attention to detail of the product. If I can learn, anyone can! LOL

I am sorry, my friends, for this rant. But I have spent over an hour today with three bad pics from an auction posting trying to determine if the slide posted is the one I need. I have even tried blowing the pics up and adjusting the lighting on them in an attempt to determine any markings. The seller has not answered an email. Guess I won't be bidding on that one... I just hope its not the ONE I need.
