I bought this gamecube through paypal, got it in a few days, then opened it up to find it had crap all over it, and 2 controller ports not working. It had a disc read error like stated, but I'm not worried about that because I can fix that. I sent him this email.
"I am emailing you concerning the gamecube that you sent me. It had coke spilled all over it, causing 2 of the controller ports to not function(player 1 and 4), which was not described in the auction. Also, I cannot use the gamecube for spare parts (as stated in your auction) because they are damaged. Since you did not describe the unit as damaged (only malfunctioning) you misrepresented the true condition of the unit. Because you sold the unit under false pretenses, I believe you should refund all of the money I paid (plus return shipping).
Hopefully we can get this sorted out,
Andrew"

"Thanks for the email Andrew,
When I put the Gamecube on the auction I was not aware that anything had been spilled on the system. In fact up to about a week before I put the gamecube on Ebay it was working fine and occasionally not reading disc's. It then got to the point where it would not read any disc, and give me a disc error. As far as the game port not working, we have never had any problems with the Game port #1 and we have never used game port #4 so I am not sure about this.
This is how I feel about the situation. For one I know nothing about how a game cube works so I wouldn't have any direct knowledge about if the parts were damaged or not. I don't feel that I misrepresented the auction at all as I didn't have any knowledge about how the Gamecube was broken or I would have fixed it myself. As far as offering a refund, first of all I don't feel I owe you a refund because I clearly stated in the auction that the item was broken and that it was AS IS. I might be able to offer some type of a refund, but as far as refunding shipping costs or return shipping costs that is not going to happen. NO seller that I have ever dealt with before pays for shipping both ways, no refunds shipping in general. Please email me back if you would like.

So what should I do now?
