Re: Super Nova Chuck bought on EBAY, Help

>I ended up getting two chucks from this gentleman on e-bay, checked his ratings and was satisified with the transaction. Maybe I got lucky because they both work fine. I did this because my local Woodcraft won't go down a dime on the last Supernova they have. It has sat there for years and for the companion version plus insert/tax it ends up costing almost $230. Buying two from this e-bay guy plus buying the two inserts from Woodcraft cost me just over $250. If I would have bought them from the Teknatool guy that runs their service center they would have cost more than the e-bay guy but not too much. I made my choice and got lucky. I like the Supernovas and especially for the latest price I got them, I have no complaints. Not likely to ever get anymore chucks so all my keys match and the chucks idiosyncracies are for me a moot point since all of mine work the same way and all the jaws are interchangeable. If I had not seen the e-bay guy I would have purchased them from the Teknatool guy and knew for sure I was getting a product that worked for a very fair price. I have done a fair amount of e-bay transactions and have only been stiffed once. I can't blame the system, learned from my mistake. E-bay is good but you have to research what you want to buy, what you're willing to spend (count shipping), and research who you are buying from. That feedback system works well. In any event I hope all this works out for you, Guy

Yes, We have Satisfaction

>When I came in today, I noticed a parcel post box sitting on my front porch. It was the replacement chuck. The seller has sent me a replacement chuck, complete with new jaws and a key. The key and jaws appear perfect this time and the chuck is a bit stiff, but seems it will run in and is smooth. I am completely satisfied.

I do wish he had sent an e-mail to tell me it was on the way. Also, he was foolish to send this one without making me return the defective one, but I will ship it Monday.

Thanks to everyone here for the help and support.
