I made a proposal to him after he admitted he performed surgery and failed to tell me about it.
Since that proposal was an email to him from me, I am at liberty to cut and paste it here as I have not issue with my information being public. (so here is the complete text of the proposal)
[red]
So, here are the choices as I present them to you, You may in fact refuse them all, or you may in fact stand up and take responsibility for the misrepresentations of those items:
I have already paid $250 for both items, the (NEW and Working Fixture) and the New and Working Ballast
Option 1. You can take the equipment back and give me a full refund or
Option 2. I will offer or rather accept a credit / refund of $100 for the fixture and ballast. I base this on the following: The fixture is truly not operational as it is, even though you represented it as NEW and working. It is neither. The Ballast is of unknown and questionable condition. Certainly the Ballast is not worth MORE then what the ballast can be purchased for at a store.
Should you accept option 2, I will be willing to work with you by accepting some of your DIY equipment that you promoted on your website. I will supply the pump, you will supply the large skimmer with full options with injector venture and needle wheel. And a package of the 'fragnets' mixed sizes would be okay.
I base the trade value as to cover your cost for material only. As I would supply the pump, and that being the major cost item on that equipment, your costs for the acrylic and piping should be minimal, (and actually less then the $100 value
Please review this offer and let me know if you any follow up comments or offers.
I appreciate your understanding of my position of not getting the NEW (or even lightly new) items, and actually getting a broken and incompletely / incorrectly modified product.

I expected a counter offer, and was willing to negotiate if necessary, but the counter offer I got was a discount of $50 off his $225 skimmer unit.
And since I did not want or need the pumps he includes on his skimmers, and since I did not discount my tiem or the value of what my time was worth, I rejected his counter offer.
