When Luna draws me a picture of her and me (is that correct grammatically?) hanging up a wreath, you know there is Christmas envy going on!
We actually are doing quite well with Christmas envy this year. We handed out less that 8 gifts a child (including 1 from each Grandparent set, 1 from my sister, 1 from Jay’s brothers) and had little screaming.
I do have an E-bay/Leapster issue. Advice? I bought Luna her very own Leapster. I got it "NIB"(new in box) from ebay. When I came, I made sure it worked (ie took out the leapster and turned it on). Well, upon opening the gift for Luna, we discovered the cover was missing, and this is clearly not a "NIB" item. The touch screen is off in one spot and needs to be recalibrated, but I don’t know how to do that or if Leapsters can be recalibrated (I know my palm pilots do this). I emailed the seller, with no response. What would you do?
I am tempted to go to Target, buy one and return the old one. They would just return it to Leap Frog as a defective unit…. Is this fair?
What would you do????
That’s exactly what I would do. It probably was defective when the seller got it. The factory can repair it or give it to a shop that does this sort of repairs and resells the item. Maybe not quite “fair”, but my logic is that the manufacturers are not quite fair in many of their practices either, especially in the mark-up on these kinds of products.
Only problem is that the cover is missing and they may not take it back at Target if they notice.
We just opened one for our youngest daughter this past Christmas Day and it, too, was missing its screen cover. I saw a few other posts online stating it happened to other families. Must be some odd thing with this batch. I am going to call Leap Frog tomorrow about it.
