Kester 951 flux-pen from ebay, have I been scammed ?

[Gabriel]

So I bought 3 kester 951 flux pens on ebay, there are some Engrish writing on them.

Have I been scammed ?

Anyone on this forum that uses these pens ? does your pen have Engrish writing like these have ?

Is it possible to contact Kester and ask them it these are their products ?


The Ebay seller has 99.9% feedback and is shipping items from UK.

Spelling mistakes are a dead give-away, they are fake.

Quality of the flux itself could vary from pretty good to totally crap.

Have had no more email from Kester sadly.

The seller is 'qkom' from UK and the item I bought was this.

Cant belive that he has sold 187 of these and noone else has seen the spelling errors on these.

Seller is the samy guy as www.qwertykom.co.uk

Even if they did see the errors, I think they just don't care.

The stuff is still flux, regardless if it's Kester or not, and it's really cheap.
