I appreciate that this poster is being upfront that a smoke smell exists.
Me too. Very important. A good example.
I'm not.
I like that he was honest about the smell,
when pressed.
But he was never upfront about the smell in his original post. I also don't like his implication that all one has to do is take it apart, clean it and it should be good.
I doubt that a machine that has been used 7 months in a smoke free environment, and still smells can be easily de-scented by taking it apart and cleaning it to create a perfectly fine machine.
I can't argue. I mean, I
could argue, but my heart wouldn't be in it. I will say this, though, because I'm shooting for getting the Verbose Award again this year:
Sleep-deprived people can do their best to be as forthcoming as possible and still not nail it.
The example, from my point of view, is in mentioning it at all. And it
WAS mentioned as a
possibility in the very first post. That's enough for me to give extra credit if I'm grading on a curve. Oh, wait, that sounds like argument. Strike that.
Thinking you smell it then thinking it no longer smells at all then thinking the smell has come back is an understandable account of events, as far as I am concerned. I mean, depending on what the definition of "is" is. I just wanted to push for clarity, Your Honor. And I found nothing in the report from the special counsel that conclusively condemns or exonerates.
Smell is highly individual, in that one person might smell it and another might not. And there are, uh, worse smells than smoke, frankly. For that matter, there is more than one kind of smoke: cigarette, cigar, pipe, fireplace, incense, medical-MJ, etc.
When I sell a car, part of me wants me to list everything anyone could ever find displeasing about it, but part of me just wants to get rid of the car. I'm human. I'm imperfect. I contain multitudes.
But I won't argue with any opinion on the matter. It's always buyer-beware time when considering a purchase of used medical equipment from a stranger. We all have to trust our own instincts on such things. And instinks differ.
