to dear TS,
I have read your main post, and it is both upsetting, and unfortunate news.
I acknowledged that you've experienced a bad transaction with the seller.
At the same time (in your view), that some fellow participating members of this forum in your thread is not supporting you in any way.
Additionally, the amount that you've paid for is so much that it could also be used to pay your pet's medical bills.
I feel very sorry for what has happened to you.
However, I wish I (and the rest of us) could be in a position to help you, but it's a harsh world out there.
Sad to say, some of the participating members here gave you a cold hard truth.
Nevertheless, it remains a fact.
If you considered to sue the seller, you will not get/gain monetary compensation from it (same from the seller's end). Both sides lose out.
In your case, there are many grey areas in the transaction that even the police is almost powerless to assist you.
When it comes to a buying from the 2nd hand market, and between independent buyer and seller without representing a registered company, there's a rule what most of us call, "willing buyer, willing seller", or vice versa.
I have also had similar experience to you. It was a very unpleasant transaction.
There was nothing I could do, as a buyer.
I hope you can learn from this very unfortunate experience/transaction, and be more wary and careful in your future purchases in the 2nd hand market.
If you wish to buy authentic products, please visit and purchase authentic products at authorised retail stores in Singapore.
Stereo Electronics is one of them.
There are many others too.
It's a healthy retail scene in Singapore.
And best of all, if you happen to buy fake products from them, your claims can be warranted, and you can take legal action against them.
However, bear in mind also, you have to know the Terms and Conditions between the company, and yourself (as a consumer) as well.
